A new report has shared that Leeds United transfer target Mateo Retegui has been offered to five Premier League clubs in total.
The 23-year-old said that his next move is likely to be in Europe on Friday, as he continues to grab the headlines for Tigres on loan from Boca Juniors.
While Leeds United may have been dreaming of getting a transfer for Mateo Retegui over the line, a fresh claim suggests other sides in the league could also sign him.

Branded as ‘world-class’ by one of the greatest strikers of all time in Francesco Totti, the lethal finisher has registered 29 goals since 2022.

90 Min report that Leeds target Mateo Retegui has been offered to fellow Premier League clubs such as Brentford, Everton, Crystal Palace and West Ham United as well.
It has further been clarified that every team in question has been ‘made aware’ of his availability in the summer.
HITC View: Leeds must survive and lay out compelling transfer pitch
Considering Mateo Retegui has been handed several windows to a potential transfer next season, Leeds must first focus on Premier League survival to even hope of signing him.
With two wins, two defeats and one draw in their last five league outings, the 13th place side look on the up, albeit being just two points away from 18th place in the table.
In case Leeds manage to stay in England’s top-flight, they must make a transfer pitch that could convince Mateo Retegui to make the move.
A simple, yet challenging way to do that is to have a long-term vision in place for the club that the Italian can buy into when he is mulling over his next destination.
