Al Qadsiah, a Saudi Pro League club, has reached an agreement to sign Italian striker Mateo Retegui from Atalanta for a transfer fee reported to be up to €70 million, including add-ons. The deal includes a long-term contract for Retegui with a salary that is reportedly six times higher than his previous earnings at Atalanta, estimated around €20 million annually. This transfer marks a major investment by Al Qadsiah as they look to bolster their squad. Concurrently, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has terminated his contract with Al Qadsiah, making him a free agent. Aubameyang scored 21 goals and provided 4 assists in 36 games last season for the Saudi club and is now reportedly in talks with Olympique Marseille for a potential two-year deal.
