In the following season, he played 21 times for AC Milan's Primavera in the Championship and Cup, also debuting and making 5 appearances in the UEFA Youth League.
Obaretin turned out for Napoli's Primavera team in 2022-2023, scoring three goals in 33 appearances in the youth league.
Standing 1.89 meters tall, Obaretin is adept at playing both as a left-sided central defender in a back three and as a left back in a back four.
