Nicolas Gonzalez has emerged as a transfer target for Atletico Madrid, with the Spanish club reportedly keen to secure the attacker’s services. Gonzalez was a key figure and one of the most dangerous offensive players for Juventus under former manager Thiago Motta.
However, following the appointment of Igor Tudor, his role within the team has diminished significantly. The Argentine forward has found it challenging to adapt to Tudor’s tactical system, often being left out of the starting line-up.
A Player Out of Favour
Juventus only acquired Gonzalez twelve months ago, but the change in managerial approach has left him on the periphery of the squad. According to Tuttojuve, the attacker has now formally requested to leave the club, seeking an opportunity to test himself in La Liga. Atletico Madrid is prepared to offer him that chance, a move that Gonzalez is reportedly eager to make.
The Bianconeri are open to a transfer, provided that any interested club meets their valuation of 30 million euros. This figure would allow them to recoup a significant portion of their investment while freeing up space in the squad for players more suited to Tudor’s tactical plans.
Atletico Madrid’s Interest
Atletico Madrid’s pursuit of Gonzalez reflects their desire to add pace and creativity to their attack. His technical ability and direct style of play could complement the Spanish side’s existing forward options, offering them a fresh dimension in the final third.
For Gonzalez, the move would represent a chance to revive his career after a challenging spell in Turin. While his talent is unquestioned, his current situation at Juventus makes regular first-team football unlikely, particularly under a manager whose system does not favour his style.
If the transfer proceeds, it could benefit all parties involved. Juventus would gain funds for reinvestment, Atletico Madrid would secure a proven attacking option, and Gonzalez would have the platform to showcase his skills in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues. The coming weeks are expected to determine whether this potential deal becomes a reality.

Instead of buying players at a high price and if they can’t sell them without a loss, they should buy expensive players, rather sell cheap players at a high price, NOT like Ronaldo, who bought them for 200 million and sold them for 20 million, which is not profitable, even those who were bought cheap were sold cheap, but other teams won a lot from them: _ Dean Huijsen ; _ Romero ; _ De Winter ; and others
They would rather sell it CHEAPER, AT A LOSS, because: _ IT DOES NOT BOOK THE PLACE BEFORE OTHERS; YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR NOTHING; THEY DON’T CERTIFY IT FOR FREE!
The LOSSES caused by Juventus’ directors are NOT PROOF of their communication. If they sign a BAD player, the DIRECTOR SHOULD pay for the DEFICIENCY.
I too join the “attacker” in asking Juventus to please sell him! It was a terrible idea to buy this talentless player in the first place. Very active, hard-working, runs a lot (pointlessly I would add) but lacks any talent. No dribbling, no speed, no shot, and too short for scoring headers, i.e. lacks any stats an attacker should possess
It was a desperation buy by Giuntoli last summer. We couldn’t get the sancho deal done and the window was about to close so he thought he had to do something and then overpaid for Nico. Hopefully we don’t do the same again this term but a this point it looks like history is repeating itself.
