Overview
- The latest reports, originating from Fichajes and relayed by UK outlets, say United are evaluating a €50–60m (£44–52m) outlay for the Al‑Qadsiah striker, with a January approach under consideration.
- There is no confirmation of a formal bid or agreement, and the situation remains described as monitored interest rather than an imminent transfer.
- Al‑Qadsiah are reported to be resistant to a sale after their recent investment, and Retegui is under contract through 2028, creating significant negotiating hurdles.
- United’s interest is tied to early‑season scoring struggles despite the summer signing of Benjamin Sesko, with Joshua Zirkzee’s role also uncertain.
- Retegui moved from Atalanta to Saudi Arabia in the summer, has three goals in four league matches there, and has recently scored for Italy, reinforcing his profile as a high‑output No 9.
