Nico Gonzalez’s stint at Juventus has come to an end as the Argentine midfielder is set to become a new player for Atletico Madrid. IlBianconero report how the past day marked a decisive moment in Juventus’s transfer activities, both in terms of signings and departures. Following an agreement with Lille for the arrival of Zhegrova, Juventus finalized the deal that will see Gonzalez wear the Atletico shirt next season.
The Transfer Formula
One of the main topics of negotiation was the formula of the transfer. Juventus initially pushed for an outright sale, but ultimately, Nico Gonzalez moves to Atletico Madrid on a loan with an option to buy. This option to buy could become an obligation if certain conditions are met during Gonzalez’s time in Spain, specifically depending on the number of appearances he makes for Atletico Madrid.
Financial Details of the Deal
Gonzalez departs Juventus after only one season, though not yet via a permanent transfer. The club will receive an immediate sum for the one-year loan and potentially more if the option to buy is triggered. Altogether, the operation is worth around 33 million euros, which encompasses both the loan fee and the buyout option.
