Mateo Retegui is leaving Saudi Arabia for Al-Qadsiah (€67 million to Atalanta), much to the concern of FIGC president Gabriele Gravina, who is looking to secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup in the USA first (and then to perform well): "We will obviously follow him, but you understand that as far as we are concerned, the competitiveness of a rather important international championship like the Italian championship leads you to have a very different team."
Serie A now risks losing the other Italian striker, Moise Kean, to the Saudi Pro League. Simone Inzaghi's Al Hilal are pursuing Moise Kean (after recently making Theo Hernandez official from AC Milan): €20 million net per season for four years, so €80 million in total. The former Juventus striker had just turned down a €15 million deal from Al-Qadsiah (who subsequently agreed to a deal with Retegui) a few weeks ago , but now he's getting a significant financial boost from another Arab club, arguably the most ambitious one, fresh from a great Club World Cup (reaching the quarterfinals, eliminating Guardiola's Manchester City 4-3 in the round of 16).
Transfer Market, Kean and the Osimhen ConnectionNot only that: according to these rumors, Al Hilal are reportedly ready to pay the €52 million clause tying Kean to Fiorentina (which is active until July 15th, so these are crucial hours). This is a strong move for Moise after Viktor Osimhen turned down a move to Saudi Arabia and agreed to Galatasaray (€75 million in five installments to Napoli, but bank guarantees are being worked on for the Nigerian striker, with a three-year contract worth €16 million per year). Fiorentina is ready to retain and renew Kean's contract, raising his salary to €4 million net (€6 million gross thanks to the Growth Decree he has enjoyed since his time at Everton). The player has already turned down the Arab sirens once, and now the (second) final decision will once again be up to him.
