In a surprising turn of events, Fiorentina’s talented winger Nico Gonzalez has attracted significant interest from Serie A rivals Atalanta and Juventus. Gonzalez, who has been on the radar of several Premier League clubs, is now being closely monitored by these Italian giants as the summer transfer window progresses.
Atalanta’s Interest
Calciomercato report how Atalanta, known for their strategic player acquisitions, are keen on bolstering their attacking options and have identified Gonzalez as a prime target. The club, having already signed Nicolo Zaniolo, is now exploring the feasibility of bringing the Argentine winger to Bergamo. While no formal negotiations have taken place between Atalanta and Fiorentina, the interest is strong, and significant developments could occur soon.
Juventus’ Contingency Plan
Juventus, on the other hand, are also keeping a close watch on Gonzalez. The Turin-based club is currently focused on securing Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund. However, should those negotiations falter, Juventus are prepared to shift their attention to Gonzalez as a viable alternative. This dual interest from two top Serie A clubs underscores the winger’s value and potential impact.
Fiorentina’s Stance
For Fiorentina, Gonzalez is not considered untouchable, but the club is unlikely to part ways with their star player for less than €40 million. The Argentine has a contract with Fiorentina until 2028, making any potential transfer a significant financial commitment for interested parties. Gonzalez’s contributions to the team, including being the top scorer last season, make him a crucial asset for the Viola.
