Nico Gonzalez appears increasingly unlikely to remain at Juventus beyond the current summer transfer window, with the Argentine winger reportedly keen on making an immediate return to Spain following a positive spell with Atletico Madrid.
According to Calciomercato, Juventus and Atletico Madrid are expected to continue discussions in the coming days as both clubs look for an agreement that works financially and sporting-wise for all parties.
The situation remains open, but the player’s desire to return to Madrid could become an important factor as negotiations develop.

Gonzalez arrived at Juventus with high expectations, but his future in Turin now appears uncertain. The Bianconeri are believed to be prepared to part ways with the former Fiorentina player, particularly if the right financial proposal arrives.
For Juventus, the priority is clear: turn his departure into an important source of revenue that can be reinvested elsewhere in the squad.
Juventus Set Their Price
The Italian giants are reportedly valuing Gonzalez at around €25 million, a figure that could prove decisive in determining whether Atletico are able to bring the player back to Spain permanently.
Juventus’ new management, led by Giovanni Carnevali and Federico Massara, reportedly have little intention of lowering their demands. The club’s position is therefore straightforward: Nico Gonzalez will only be allowed to leave if a significant offer arrives on the table.
For Atletico, the player’s previous experience at the club could make a permanent move particularly attractive.
Gonzalez already knows the environment, the league and the demands of Diego Simeone’s side, while his performances during his spell in Madrid have strengthened the idea that he could be a useful addition to the squad.

Much will now depend on whether the two clubs can find the financial compromise needed to complete the operation. Juventus will want to protect the value of an asset they still consider worth around €25 million, while Atletico will look for a formula that fits their budget.
As reported by Calciomercato, this is a situation that could become significantly more active over the next few days. Gonzalez’s future is therefore one to watch closely, with a return to Spain increasingly looking like a realistic possibility.
