Mateo Retegui is the epitome of clinical efficiency in front of goal, boasting an unrivalled goal threat and conversion rate among his Serie A peers this season. His exceptional knack for finding the back of the net is complemented by his striking ability to convert chances with stunning regularity, underpinned by a perfect goals per 90 metric. While his assist rate impressively ranks high, reflecting his ability to contribute to his team's goal tally, his style of play is clearly centred around directness and precision in striking. Interestingly, his involvement beyond the final third isn't as pronounced; his progressive carrying and passing metrics are notably low, indicating he thrives when playing the final touch as opposed to being involved in build-up play. Though often not the architect, he capitalises on well-crafted opportunities, maintaining high shot volume and efficiency without excessive touches on the ball. Retegui's robust ball recovery and retention metrics combine to make him a well-rounded frontman, yet his dribbling and advancing the ball through midfield remain areas for further development. His scout report underscores a player with a direct and lethal approach, a natural fit for Atalanta's attacking aspirations.
