Juventus and Atletico Madrid are expected to sit down for discussions once both clubs have a clearer picture of their financial flexibility, with several potential transfer scenarios linking the two sides.
According to Giovanni Albanese, no formal negotiations have begun yet, but there are multiple players who could become part of a wider deal.

Nico Gonzalez Could Be the Starting Point
The first name on the table is Nico Gonzalez, who remains a Juventus player but is not expected to return to Turin despite Luciano Spalletti’s wishes.
Atletico Madrid are keen to keep the Argentine permanently, although only under financial terms significantly lower than those initially discussed when the loan agreement was made.
This difference in valuation could open the door to a broader negotiation involving other players. One of Juventus’ priority targets is Alexander Sorloth, the physical striker personally requested by Spalletti.
The Norwegian international has already shown interest in joining the Bianconeri, although he had hoped for greater clarity before the international tournament, meaning any concrete progress is likely to come only after Norway’s campaign ends.
The financial gap remains the biggest obstacle. Atletico are unwilling to value Nico Gonzalez at more than €20 million, while Juventus are aiming to reduce Sorloth’s €35 million asking price as much as possible.
Sorloth Remains the Priority as Juventus Weigh More Moves
Sorloth continues to be Juventus’ preferred option in attack, but the club must first create the financial conditions to complete the deal while also freeing up space in the forward line through the departures of Jonathan David and Loïs Openda.
Another situation being monitored closely is Matteo Ruggeri, especially if Andrea Cambiaso leaves the club.

With strong interest from both the Premier League and La Liga—particularly from Chelsea and Barcelona—Cambiaso’s sale could provide the funds needed to sign Sorloth, with Ruggeri viewed as a potential replacement at left-back.
The situation could become even more complex with Dusan Vlahovic also entering the picture.
Now a free agent after leaving Juventus, the Serbian striker is attracting interest from Spain, with both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid monitoring his situation while awaiting any renewed contact from Turin.
Everything ultimately depends on each club’s financial room for manoeuvre, and Juventus are actively working to complete outgoing transfers before accelerating their pursuit of new signings.
