Juventus are going full-steam ahead in their pursuit of Nico Gonzalez and want to seal the deal this week before the opener. Their director Cristiano Giuntoli didn’t follow the team to Goteborg for the friendly against Atletico Madrid due to key meetings with Atalanta and Fiorentina, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
The two sides have an agreement in principle on his valuation, €30M. They are mulling two makeweights, Weston McKennie and Filip Kostic. However, since the Bianconeri are in a hurry, the deals will be separate. One or both outcasts could go the other way later in the summer.
Juventus need Fiorentina to bag Alfred Gudmundsson to get Nico Gonzalez as quickly as they hope. That hinges on Genoa finding a replacement, but it should be just a matter of days. Both players are pushing to go.
The Old Lady intends to add two pacey attackers. Francisco Conceiçao is the favorite to be the second one due to Galeno’s price tag. Karim Adeyemi has long fallen out of the picture. Agent Jorge Mendes is trying to broker the deal. RB Leipzig are also after the youngster. If he isn’t successful, the Bianconeri will revisit previous high-profile targets for a loan.
Our Take on Juventus, Nico Gonzalez, and Conceiçao
Looking at their friendlies, wingers are an even higher priority than Teun Koopmeiners, especially since Thiago Motta likes to rotate them and bring weapons off the bench. They should have been more proactive in recent weeks, but it’s also true that the bargains generally pop up only late in the window. It won’t happen, but they should have pursued Gudmundsson too.
