Juventus are exploring the striker market ahead of next summer, with Mateo Retegui emerging as a potential solution to their ongoing concerns in attack.
The Bianconeri want a reliable goalscorer capable of making the difference, particularly if Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade fail to deliver the expected results.

Despite making several additions to their squad, Juventus have yet to find the consistency they need in front of goal. With their ambitions depending heavily on attacking performances, the club could consider further changes if their current options struggle to convince.
Retegui Emerges as a Juventus Target
According to Calciomercato, Retegui is among the names Juventus are considering as they assess their options for the upcoming transfer window.
The Italian international currently plays for Al Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League, having left European football after establishing himself as an effective striker in Serie A.
His previous performances in Italy demonstrated his ability to find the net consistently, making him an appealing candidate for a Juventus side searching for greater attacking firepower.
A return to Serie A could offer Retegui the opportunity to compete at the highest level of Italian football once again.
Juventus would reportedly be interested in bringing the striker back to Italy, provided he is open to leaving Saudi Arabia and returning to European football. His familiarity with Serie A could also make the transition easier compared with signing a forward who has never played in the Italian league.

Kolo Muani and Woltemade Under Pressure
The future of Juventus’ current attacking options could play a significant role in determining whether the club pursues Retegui.
Kolo Muani and Woltemade will have opportunities to improve their performances, but continued inconsistency could force the Bianconeri to explore alternatives.
Retegui’s experience and proven quality in Italy could make him an attractive option as Juventus look to build a more productive frontline.
For now, no deal is guaranteed. Much will depend on the club’s assessment of its current strikers, Retegui’s willingness to return to Europe and the financial conditions of a potential transfer next summer.
