Nico Gonzalez is set to return to Florence from his vacation, with a crucial face-to-face meeting scheduled with Fiorentina’s management to discuss his future. This comes after sporting director Daniele Pradè’s earlier assertion that the Argentine was “99% unsellable.” However, recent transfer rumors suggest that the remaining 1% possibility of a move is gaining traction.
Calciomercato confirm that both Atalanta and Juventus have expressed interest in Gonzalez, with the player’s entourage showing openness to potential transfer discussions. Fiorentina has set a minimum asking price of €35 million for the 1998-born winger.
Currently, Atalanta appears to be leading the race for Gonzalez’s signature, but Juventus remains in contention. The transfer market for these clubs is intertwined on multiple fronts, including negotiations for Koopmeiners’ potential move to Juventus. Additionally, Juventus is working on finding new clubs for Federico Chiesa and other players not part of their future plans.
Both clubs are considering including player exchanges to reduce the financial outlay. Juventus is contemplating offering Weston McKennie, who is not in Thiago Motta’s plans and has previously attracted Fiorentina’s interest. Atalanta, on the other hand, is exploring the possibility of including goalkeeper Juan Musso in the deal, as he is favored by Palladino and could be an attractive proposition for Fiorentina.
The Premier League remains a potential destination for Gonzalez, lurking in the background of these negotiations.
As Gonzalez returns from his vacation, his future hangs in the balance, with his impending talks with Fiorentina set to ignite the transfer market. The outcome of these discussions could significantly impact the plans of Fiorentina, Juventus, and Atalanta in the final month of the transfer window.
