Serie A side Atalanta are closer than ever to complete the signing of Genoaโ€™s Mateo Retegui.

According to a report by Tutto Atalanta, Atalanta and Genoa are processing the final details regarding the transfer of Mateo Retegui to the Bergamo-based club. Negotiations were underway between the two clubs since the start of the transfer window and it looks like talks have drawn to a conclusion now.

La Dea have agreed on a โ‚ฌ22 million fee with the Grifone for the 25-year-old and personal terms are not expected to pose a problem.ย 

Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini asked for a natural striker ahead of the new season and Reteguiโ€™s arrival is set to settle that request. The club is scheduled to feature in the new format of the Champions League this upcoming campaign and they will need a deep squad in all departments to progress in the competition.
