Atalanta aren’t the only ones going after Nico Gonzalez, as Juventus have taken an interest in the Fiorentina star too. In particular, he’d gain steam if the Bianconeri couldn’t sign Karim Adeyemi or Galeno.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, La Dea is very keen but is set up front. They’ll open talks once either El Bilal Touré or Teun Koopmeiners depart. They recently sold Aleksey Miranchuk to Atlanta United but had already replaced him with Nicolò Zaniolo. Those exits aren’t imminent for now.
Juventus could overtake Atalanta if they acted quickly and could offer a swap for Nico Gonzalez. Fiorentina have been tracking Weston McKennie in recent weeks. Despite their pursuits, they are ways away from signing one of their two top targets due to Borussia Dortmund and Porto’s demands.
Per Tuttomercatoweb, the situation will potentially escalate once the winger returns from vacation in a few days. He has sent inklings to other teams but hasn’t spoken directly with La Viola about his future. If he asked out, his price tag would be €30/35M.
Our Take on Juventus, Atalanta, and Nicolas Gonzalez
Fiorentina might have tipped their hand by signing a fairly similar player in Andrea Colpani. The Old Lady needs him more considering that the Orobici already have Charles De Ketelaere and Nicolò Zaniolo as far as left-footed attackers are concerned. He’d be a nice way for the Bianconeri to bounce back from selling Matias Soulé, as he’s in his prime and, while failing to reach superstar status, he’s been productive for a few years in Serie A. They’d be able to cope with his recurring injuries better than his current side.
