AS Roma has advanced negotiations to sign Juventus forward Nico González with a proposed package worth a substantial sum, threatening to disrupt Atlético Madrid’s pursuit of the Argentine international, according to reports from sports daily MARCA. The 28-year-old winger, who spent the previous season on loan in Turin, remains a priority target for Atlético manager Diego Simeone due to his tactical versatility across the front line.
Roma Advances Package for Juventus Forward
The Italian capital club has moved decisively in the transfer market by preparing a formal proposal structured around 25 million euros in fixed payments alongside 4 million euros in variables. According to reports from MARCA, that financial framework aligns closely with the valuation held by Juventus, which actively seeks a permanent departure for the player during the current window.
The proposed multi-million-euro package positions the Serie A side favorably to secure the winger ahead of competing domestic and continental suitors, provided formal agreements are finalized.
Diego Simeone and Atlético Madrid Maintain Interest
Despite Roma’s accelerating pursuit, Atlético Madrid retains a strong foothold in the race due to the player’s personal preferences. Reports indicate that Nico González views a move to Atlético Madrid as his primary objective, favoring the prospect of playing under compatriot Diego Simeone.
Simeone values the 28-year-old for his tactical flexibility, having monitored his ability to occupy multiple attacking roles and adjust to varying tactical demands during his loan stint. However, the Rojiblancos have yet to submit a formal counter-offer matching the total valuation established by Juventus, leaving a window of opportunity for opposing suitors.
Negotiation Timeline and Market Outlook
Time remains the critical variable for the Madrid club’s sporting direction.
The player’s desire to join the squad keeps the operation alive, but the definitive outcome depends on whether the club’s board matches the financial thresholds required by Turin. Further updates are expected as the transfer window progresses and both Italian and Spanish clubs weigh their next moves.
