Key Takeaways:
- Nico Gonzalez, aged 27, arrived in Madrid to complete his medical ahead of a one-year loan switch from Juventus

Transfer Details and Financial Terms
Atletico Madrid are on the verge of adding Argentine winger Nico Gonzalez to their squad, following an agreement with Juventus. The 27-year-old travelled to the Spanish capital to undergo his medical ahead of a proposed one-year loan. As revealed by sources close to SportingPedia, the deal includes a clause obligating Atletico Madrid to make the move permanent—triggered if Gonzalez reaches a specified number of appearances. Should that condition be met, Gonzalez will sign a contract with Atletico that runs until 2030.
The financial structure of the arrangement will see Atletico pay Juventus a €1 million loan fee for the initial season. If the obligation to buy is triggered, the Spanish club will pay an additional €35 million, raising the total value of the deal to €36 million (£30 million/$41 million).

| Player | From | To | Loan Fee (€) | Obligation Fee (€) | Potential Total (€) | Contract Until |

Last Season’s Influence and Recent Playing Time
Gonzalez proved instrumental for Juventus in the previous campaign, making 38 appearances across all competitions as part of the line-ups managed by Thiago Motta and Igor Tudor. Despite Juventus converting his loan move from Fiorentina into a permanent transfer this summer, the club are allowing him to depart after he registered just 17 minutes on the pitch in the opening two Serie A fixtures this season.
Atletico Madrid’s Summer Rebuild
This acquisition marks Atletico Madrid’s eighth addition during the current transfer window. The club has already welcomed players such as Alex Baena, David Hancko, and Johnny Cardoso under Diego Simeone’s management. Gonzalez becomes the third player to arrive from Serie A, joining Giacomo Raspadori and Juan Musso among the raft of new arrivals.
International Commitments
Upon completion of his medical and official documentation in Madrid, Gonzalez is set to join the Argentina national squad in preparation for their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela and Ecuador.
