Reports from Italy indicate that Juventus are making inriads in their bid to secure Nico Gonzalez from Fiorentina. The Argentine forward was notably absent from Fiorentina’s squad for their upcoming friendly against Freiburg. This absence is not due to any injury, suggesting that Gonzalez might be on the verge of leaving the club. As days go by, the possibility of his departure becomes more likely, with Juventus actively pursuing his signature.
Calciomercato report that both clubs are nearing an agreement on the transfer terms, focusing on a loan deal with an obligation to buy. However, there is still a gap in the financial details, as Fiorentina demands over 30 million euros. Juventus is considering a cash offer supplemented by including Weston McKennie, whom Fiorentina had previously shown interest in.
Juventus’s interest in Gonzalez intensified after realizing they could not meet Borussia Dortmund’s demands for Karim Adeyemi. Coach Thiago Motta views Gonzalez as a better fit for the team’s playing style compared to other potential targets like Galeno and Conceiçao. With the pursuit of Jadon Sancho no longer viable, Gonzalez has become a priority for Juventus as they aim to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
