Mateo Retegui is the leading Italian goalscorer for the 2025 calendar year with 18 in competitive matches for Atalanta and Al-Qadsiah, but only three Azzurri representatives have hit double figures since the beginning of January.

Retegui, who left Atalanta to join Al-Qadsiah in a whopping €65m deal over the summer, hit 10 goals in Italy before moving to Saudi Arabia, where he has since added a further eight competitive goals to his annual tally.

Bologna’s Orsolini is the second-highest goalscoring Italian in 2025 with 15 goals across all competitions. He is also the leading Italian goalscorer who does not regularly play at centre-forward. He has nine goals to his name already in 2025-26: Six in Serie A, two in the Europa League and one in the Supercoppa Italiana.

Fiorentina’s Moise Kean is the third-highest goalscoring Italian, and the only other Italian in Europe’s top five leagues to have hit double figures in 2025. In what has been a poor season on a collective level for La Viola, Kean has come up with four Serie A goals and one goal in the Conference League so far this season.

Curiously, Fiorentina, who sit dead last in Serie A as things stand, have three players included among the top 10 goalscorers in Europe’s top five leagues. Rolando Mandragora ranks joint-fourth with nine goals, while summer signing Roberto Piccoli comes in at seventh with seven goals in 2025.
