Genoa Italy striker Mateo Retegui is being watched by Napoli. Who are looking for a replacement for Victor Osimhen, who has a chance to move to the team this summer.

Italian outlet Register ufabet Sport reports that Napoli are looking for a new number 9 striker as they are likely to lose Osimhen in the upcoming summer transfer window. Most recently, they are keeping an eye on Retegui, a member of the Italian national team from Genoa.

The report states that Retegui performance and playing form are at a good level. And it’s worth investing in for Napoli. Even though their first season in Serie A scored 8 goals from 27 games in all competitions and 6 goals from 23 Serie A games, overall they were able to adapt well. And had an excellent performance with the Italian national team, 4 goals in 6 games.

Even Napoli still don’t know who will be their trainer next season. But they know that there is a chance of losing Osimhen, who a big club might be willing to pay a contract price of 120-130 million euros, while the backup option, Giovanni Simeone, is not good enough. And the Argentine striker is unhappy with the lack of opportunities he is getting.

However, Napoli’s number one target remains Canadian striker Jonathan David. Because he believed that he might become a star like Osimhen who moved from Lille as well.
