“I was bothered”: Italian footballer raises doubts over appointment of Mateo Retegui to the national team

The young striker Sassuolo from Serie A, Andrea Pinamonti, criticized Roberto Mancini’s decision to summon Mateo Retegui, Tigre striker who took advantage of his opportunity and scored two goals in his first two appearances with the Italy national team.

“Retegui in the selection? It bothered me a bit”, said the 23-year-old attacker, who is also closely followed by the DT for the Azzurra. “It was surely a bit annoying, yes. Especially for a player who aspires to be called up to the national team,” he added.

Beyond that, the attacker is focused on continuing to make an effort to have a chance in the Italian national team: “At the same time, it becomes an incentive to do better. I’m not the right person to judge the decisions they make“.

The “Reteguimanía” in Europe

In the Italian sports media, “Reteguimanía” is spoken and the 23-year-old forward is already in the sights of several clubs in Europe. Inter, Milan and Lazio, have already set their sights on the striker who “dazzled” the Italiansaccording to the newspaper La Gazzeta dello Sport.

“Inter was never distracted by Retegui and has been following him for a long time since Facundo Colidio, who is owned by the Milanese club, also plays in Tigre and consequently, when following one, the other could also be seen,” the newspaper published.

Furthermore, outside of Italy, the Atletico Madrid would have already maintained contact with the player’s environment and the Eintracht Frankfurt German could join the bid for the striker.

However, they do not rule out that before the “discovery” of Retegui, the Premier League begins to play “its chips” and its economic power. In that sense, the West Ham of London would have already advanced its claim to try to have the scorer from Boca, on loan in Tigre.
