Proper striker

Obvious option in the summer if the expensive guys like Isak, Sesko, Gyokeres and others aren't financially feasible

Atalanta has Scamacca and would probably let us have Retegui for a reasonable price.

Osimwho?

Gotta give it to Atalanta and how it is the system that makes the player.

Signed for Genoa last season for 15m and scored 7.

Atalanta sign him for just 20m and is already at 20 goals.

On a side note, why did Genoa only accept a 5m flip.

Didn't seem special when we met them. Osimhen was the same otoh for Napoli a couple of years ago

He is not that special but is a good finisher and has solid general play. I think he's cheap so like I said might be an option in the summer if our finances don't allow us to sign the big guys. Because we desperately need a striker, if we can't get those 100m dudes just get Retegui and get the best out of him. I do think Flick wouldn't waste his qualities.

On top of that, we are Barca. No shame not being special against us. Maybe we got used to all kinds of frauds dropping masterclass against us the last few years but thankfully it has come to an end with a proper manager.

No he’s at the same level as Scamacca, Zapata, Destro, Belotti, that caliber of Serie A strikers. He won’t bag double digit goals in another league
50 year old Lewandowski who can't run, press, misses half his chances and can't control a ball scores 40 and you're telling me Retegui wouldn't bag double digit goals... Hilarious

He would probably score a lot under Flick, his finishing and positioning is good and that's pretty much all it takes. His general play is limited and he's not the best long term solution but if we can't afford a proper striker in the summer we should seriously consider Retegui because he's fairly cheap.

Serie A is defensively the best league out there and has been for ages. It's far from easy to score.

Price for Isak is €180M. Whole Europe is after Sesko and Gyokeres. Don't be so sure we will be able to get any of them. We can't go next season without a new striker, so we have to look for alternative options and Retegui is one of the best.

Last thing I want us to do is to spend a lot of money on a gamble. How cheap will this guy be? If it's 30-40m then maybe.

If it's not Isak or Gyokeres(i'm not 100% convinced abt him either) this summer then wait till next year IMO.

Transfer Market says 35mil. I am sure we can make it cheaper.

And I dont think he can be a starter here, but for a aging Lewa, he could be a backup.
