Juventus will need to raise their offer to snap up Nico Gonzalez, but they are now engaged in direct conversations with Fiorentina. Agents and intermediaries handled the early portion of the talks. Fiorentina demand more than €30M, Alfredo Pedullà reports.
La Viola believes the counterparty took things for granted once they signed Albert Gudmundsson. They want to be in charge of the negotiation. In any case, the player wants the move, and Atalanta haven’t seriously materialized at this stage. The Gigliati insists on not including any makeweights despite liking Weston McKennie and Arthur.
Contrary to the previous chatter, Juventus might add two more wingers on top of Nico Gonzalez. Porto are driving a hard bargain, but Jorge Mendes continues to work to bring Francisco Conceiçao to Turin on an initial loan. The attacker has turned down a proposal from Saudi Arabia.
The Bianconeri could make two investments in the role if they cashed in on Federico Chiesa and other outcasts. Barcelona are ready to table their offer for the Italian international. It’ll be below the Old Lady’s €15M request, but there’s room to haggle. The Turin outfit continues to keep tabs on Jadon Sancho.
Our Take on Juventus, Nico Gonzalez, and Their Strategy
They’ll have to be careful about not overspending for a fine but not world-class player. It’ll likely be a convoluted formula that muddies the water and makes everybody happy. The proposition to add three wingers is the first hint that they might not sign Teun Koopmeiners after all, especially if two are pricey. They’d use Kenan Yildiz as a no.10, which is arguably his true role, and their other midfielders when they want to be more cagey.
