Juventus Signs Argentine Winger Nicolas Gonzalez in €38 Million Deal
Juventus has made a significant addition to their squad with the signing of Argentine winger Nicolas Gonzalez from Fiorentina. The deal, worth a potential 38 million euros ($42.5 million), is part of the Turin giants’ ongoing revamp under new coach Thiago Motta.
Gonzalez joins Juventus on a season-long loan for eight million euros, with an obligation to buy for 25 million euros plus bonuses of five million euros. The bonuses are contingent upon the achievement of certain sporting objectives, which Juventus believes are highly likely to be met.
The 26-year-old has been a key player for Fiorentina over the past three years, helping them reach the final of the Europa Conference League twice and the Italian Cup once. He has also earned 39 caps for Argentina, scoring five goals and playing a role in their recent Copa America and Finalissima triumphs.
Gonzalez is expected to make his Juventus debut next weekend against Roma. By then, the club is also likely to have completed the signing of Francisco Conceicao from Porto on a one-season loan.
Juventus has been active in the transfer market this summer, bringing in Douglas Luiz and Khepren Thuram. They are also pursuing Atalanta’s star midfielder Teun Koopmeiners.
The addition of Gonzalez, a versatile and experienced winger, will provide Juventus with much-needed depth and quality in attack. He is expected to play a key role in Motta’s plans as the club looks to challenge for major honors this season.
