Mateo Retegui, born on 29 April 1999 (age 27), is an Italian striker now with Al-Qadsiah. He is a centre-forward by trade, and his value is around £34m, according to Transfermarkt.
His strongest league season came with Atalanta in 2024-25, when he scored 25 goals in 36 appearances. That is the sort of return that moves a striker from useful to expensive fairly quickly, even allowing for the usual market excess.
Retegui is now in Saudi Arabia with Al-Qadsiah. In 2026-27, he has made three Pro League appearances and scored once. His career to this point is that of a penalty-box striker whose best spell came in Italy before a move into the Pro League.
