OFFICIAL: Inter Milan announces Mateo Rettegui! The top scorer of Serie A arrives from Atalanta for a record figure – Inzaghi: “Perfect preparation for the Club World Cup”
Inter Milan scores a sensational market blow in view of the most ambitious season in recent years: Mateo Rettegui, the Italian Argentine naturalized bomber, is officially a new Nerazzurri player.

The 1999 class, already a stop of the Italian national team of Spalletti, signed a five -year contract with the Nerazzurri club, with a engagement that is around 4 million euros net per season. Rettegui will be the new offensive terminal of Simone Inzaghi’s 3-5-2, alongside Lautaro Martínez in an Argentine attack that already makes the fans dream.
Inzaghi exults: “A fundamental reinforcement”
At the press conference, Inter Simone Inzaghi’s coach did not hide his enthusiasm for the operation concluded:
“Rettegui is a modern, complete striker, with a hunger that reminds me of that of the great bomber of the past. With him we have more alternatives in attack and we can face every competition at the best of our possibilities.”
The technician also underlined how the arrival of strategists is part of a strategic strengthening plan in view of the nextFIFA Club World Cup, where Inter will represent Europe together with other great powers of world football.
“Set teams such as Real Madrid or Palmeiras requires a wide, prepared and experienced rose. With the arrival of Mateo, we are a step closer to the team we want to be.”
The enthusiasm of the fans
The announcement of the transfer sparked the euphoria among the Nerazzurri fans. In a few hours, the video presentation video published on the club’s official channels exceeded 5 million views.

“It was the player who was missing, now we are really complete!”, said a young supporter on leaving the store.
Farewell to Atalanta
On the other hand, in Bergamo, the Atalanta fans greet with bitterness but also with pride their number 9.

A dream attack
With the arrival of attributes, Inter’s attack is a candidate to be one of the strongest in Europe. Lautaro, Rettegui, Thuram and Arnautovic make up a varied offensive department, capable of offering physicality, technique and depth.
Inzaghi could alternate several tactical solutions: the classic 3-5-2, but also a 3-4-1-2 with Calhanoglu midfielder, or a more offensive 3-4-3 with attributes as a central tip.

Inter want to dominate in Italy, but above all to leave the mark in the world. With the engagement of attributes, the message is clear:no longer satisfies ourselves. The Champions League, the World Cup Club, Serie A and the Italian Cup are all real objectives for a group that is hungry for glory.
