Nico González Returns to Turin as Transfer Stalemate Continues

He is training in Turin as clubs haggle over a reported €20–30m price gap that must be settled before the September 1 transfer deadline.

Overview

  • Juventus published a training-video Thursday showing Nico González at the club’s Continassa facility and available for selection while talks continue.
  • González remains under contract with Juventus until 30 June 2029 and has told clubs he prefers a permanent move back to Atlético Madrid after his 2025–26 loan.
  • Atlético are reported to have avoided triggering a prior €32m obligation-to-buy by limiting his appearances during the loan, leaving fresh negotiations now underway.
  • A persistent valuation gap separates the clubs with Atlético offering about €20–22m and Juventus asking roughly €28–30m, a stance Juventus says is supported by González’s World Cup form.
  • Other suitors, including Inter, have made contact and Juventus may consider structured deals to bridge the gap as all parties aim for a resolution before the window closes, a choice that will decide where González spends 2026–27.
