Nicolás González leaving Fiorentina?
Nicolas Gonzalez' departure from Fiorentina is becoming concrete. The 26-year-old Argentine, who still has a contract with Viola until 2028, was already in Turin for a medical check at Juventus on Sunday.
Nicolás González is being transferred as a replacement for Federico Chiesa. The transfer has been finalized.
Due to Filip Kostic's knee injury and Timothy Weah's muscular problems after the Serie A debut, Juventus is left without wingers and is very interested in signing 26-year-old Argentine Nicolás González from Fiorentina. Reports in Italy suggest that Chiesa will leave, and Nico will be his replacement, although Fiorentina has expressed their desire to keep one of their best players.
Nicolás González is likely to be sold by Fiorentina to generate funds. It is difficult for Fiorentina to keep him due to his high salary, especially after making several new signings.
Nicolas Gonzalez could be a sacrificial asset for Fiorentina in the transfer market. Despite being the most expensive signing in Fiorentina's history and having rejected a significant offer from the Premier League last August, his recent season has not been as impressive, partly due to frequent injuries. The Copa America could help raise his value, as he is performing well with Argentina and has attracted the attention of foreign clubs.
Nicolas Gonzalez is a key player for Fiorentina, and there has been interest from various market sessions, especially from the Premier League. However, the club's sports director, Pradè, has stated that there is a 99% chance that Gonzalez is not for sale. He mentioned that Gonzalez is happy at Fiorentina, but also added that 'never say never' in football. This suggests there is a 1% chance of a transfer, especially if the figures match those of the recent rejected assaults.
