Atalanta opt for Retegui after considering Tammy Abraham move

Atalanta has secured Genoa striker Mateo Retegui as the replacement for the injured Gianluca Scamacca.

After considering several candidates, including Roma attacker Tammy Abraham, La Dea opted to finalise a deal for the 25 year-old just one year after he joined the Ligurian side from Boca Juniors.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Genoa will receive €22 million plus an additional €3 million in bonuses for the transfer. He’ll undergo his medical examinations later today with the move expected to be made official on Thursday.

The deal rules out a potential landing spot for Abraham, who had been considered as a possible reinforcement to replace Scamacca after he suffered a torn ACL. However, with Retegui’s acquisition, that option is now off the table.
