Gazzetta: Juventus closing in on Nico Gonzalez

Juventus are actively looking to sign a winger to replace Matias Soulé, following his transfer to  Roma last week. The situation could potentially escalate to needing two wingers, considering Federico Chiesa’s seemingly imminent departure. A name that’s gaining traction at Continassa is Nico Gonzalez, with the Fiorentina player reportedly moving closer to a potential move to Juventus.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via IlBianconero), the possibility of seeing the Argentine in Turin has increased since Fiorentina opened up to the idea of including a counterpart in the deal. This counterpart is none other than Weston McKennie, who is considered surplus to requirements in Thiago Motta’s new Juventus setup and is reportedly favored by Fiorentina’s owner, Rocco Commisso.

Juventus’ interest in Gonzalez has intensified as they look to reshape their attacking options for the upcoming season. The potential inclusion of McKennie in the deal could prove to be a decisive factor in negotiations between the two clubs.

This development comes as Juventus aims to strengthen their squad while also managing departures. The potential arrival of Gonzalez could provide the Old Lady with a versatile attacking option, capable of playing across the front line.
