Eintracht and Inter want Retegui

Eintracht Frankfurt and Inter Milan are both interested in signing Mateo Retegui from Argentinian side Tigre, according to Fabrizio Romano. The news comes in the aftermath of the 23-year-old striker making his first and second appearance as an Italy international for the opening two matches of the Euro 2024 qualifications. He scored both against England and Malta.

Quite apart from that, Retegui himself recently revealed a desire to continue his career in Europe. He also named Italy as the preferred destination, which obviously puts Inter into a better position than Eintracht, but he also pointed out that the matter was being dealt with by his father, who acts as his representative, and that nothing is decided at this point.

Retegui’s services actually belong to Boca Juniors, the club he joined at youth level, and he’s been playing on various loan spells for the majority of his senior career so far. Tigre, however, do have the option to turn the deal permanent and it’s expected to be triggered, with a potential sale for more money on the horizon.

Mateo Retegui: “My next club will be in Europe. I’d love to try an experience in Serie A but no idea yet – my dad is taking care of that”, tells Gazzetta 🇦🇷🇮🇹
