Tigre striker Mateo Retegui is back in Argentina, thrilled after his Italy success.

Retegui scored twice in his first two games with the Azzurri.

He told ESPN: "I am grateful to (Roberto) Mancini and my team-mates because they helped me.

"I also thank all of Tigre for allowing me to achieve this dream. I managed to score in the first match, even if we didn't get the result we wanted; in the second match we found the victory and I managed to score the second goal.

"I can't wait to come back."

Udinese chief scout Andrea Carnevale confirmed their interest in Retegui yesterday.
