Tolu Arokodare, Rodrigo Muniz and Nikola Krstovic are among Atalanta’s targets to replace Italy international Mateo Retegui.
Atalanta are still looking for replacements for Italy forward Retegui, who completed a €65m transfer to Al Qadsiah just a few days ago.
Three Atalanta targets to replace Retegui

Sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that Fulham forward Muniz is among Atalanta’s options to replace the latest Serie A top goalscorer.

La Dea’s priority remains Genk forward Arokodare, but it’s a pretty tricky deal, so it’s not guaranteed that the Nerazzurri will actually finalise it.
Chiesa could replace Lookman at Atalanta

Lecce star Krstovic is another name being discussed at the Gewiss Stadium. The Montenegro international is expected to leave this summer after scoring 19 goals in 54 appearances across his two-year spell at the Via del Mare.
In the meantime, Atalanta are also in talks with Inter over Ademola Lookman’s sale and, as I revealed last week, Federico Chiesa is seen as a possible replacement for the Nigerian forward.
