According to\u00a0<\/span>Caught Offside<\/span><\/a>, Aston Villa has identified Atalanta attacker Mateo Retegui as a potential replacement for Jhon Duran. The latter\u2019s future is uncertain amid interest <\/span>heating up<\/span> from multiple European clubs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mateo Retegui is breathing fire<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Italian plays as a striker and can adapt to different <\/span>styles of play<\/span>. He is a killer inside the box, having the abilities to score variety of goals. He is also effective in attacks build-ups though the striker can improve his ball holding trait.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jhon Duran has a high <\/span>interest<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jhon Duran<\/a> has been the first-choice striker for Aston Villa ahead of Ollie Watkins<\/a> this season. The latter\u2019s dip in form has benefit the former solidify his spot and prove himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Duran was linked to a move away all summer but in the end, he stayed with the Villans. But now his consistent displays have attracted more interest from clubs. It wouldn\u2019t be surprising if any club submits an official offer for him in the winter window.<\/span><\/p>\n

To remain prepared, Aston Villa <\/span>have planned to<\/span> target Mateo Retegui to fill the space. The striker is already breathing fire in Serie A and can be a great addition <\/span>to the side<\/span>. Though Atalanta isn\u2019t willing to let the performer go, an offer of around \u20ac55 million might tempt them to change their mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
