Naturalized players are now a global trend, such as Serginho of the national football team, and Indonesia has 10 naturalized players in the first game. Not only Asian teams, but also 4-star Italy will also naturalize players, such as Retegui, who has no place in Argentina, and finally chose to represent Italy, and is now Italy's main striker, and will also impact the Serie A Golden Boot this season.
Retegui is an Argentinian star who has spent time at two of Argentina's giants, River Plate and Boca Juniors, and the player opted to join Genoa for a transfer fee of €15.25 million in the summer window of 2023 and chose to represent Italy. After establishing himself in Serie A, Retegui became an Italian international and a regular player, with the player opting to join Atalanta for a transfer fee of €20.9 million in the summer window of 2024 and is Gasperini's leading scorer.
The 25-year-old Retegui, a 1.86-meter-tall, right-footed player who plays as a center forward, has a contract with Atalanta until 2028 and is worth 45 million euros (up 10 million euros in this month's update). Retegui has played 27 Serie A games for Atalanta this season, starting 23 of them, scoring a staggering 22 goals (1.18 goals every 90 minutes), including eight with his left foot, nine with his right foot and five with his head.
In this season's Serie A scorer list, Retegui leads with 22 goals, and the second place is Fiorentina's Italian striker Keane with 15 goals, which means that Retegui leads the Serie A scorer list with 7 goals and has a high probability of winning the Serie A Golden Boot this season. If Retegui ends up winning the Serie A Golden Boot this season, he will have scored 24 goals in 1997Great InzaghiHe then became the second Atalanta player to win the Serie A Golden Boot.
