Juventus considers Mateo Retegui as forward option before transfer deadline

Summary

Juventus is evaluating Italy international Mateo Retegui as a potential centre-forward signing before the summer transfer window closes. Coach Luciano Spalletti aims to strengthen the squad, especially after losing Dusan Vlahovic and sending Lois Openda on loan. Retegui, who was previously linked with the club, could be secured on a loan deal, though salary negotiations might complicate matters. Juventus has already acquired Randal Kolo Muani and Jeff Ekhator this summer but may need to clear Jonathan David from the roster first.
