Juventus are in advanced talks to sign Nico Gonzalez from Fiorentina, but Sky Sport Italia report that it will take time to finalise the transfer.
Fiorentina have announced the purchase of Albert Gudmundsson from Genoa, but they are reluctant to sell Nico Gonzalez to Juventus.
Several reputable sources reported earlier this week that the Bianconeri had reached an agreement on a €30m transfer, but the latest rapport Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that the two clubs are still discussing the transfer formula.
Two reasons why Nico Gonzalez’s transfer to Juventus is stalling
Fiorentina are pushing for a permanent transfer, while Juventus want a loan deal with an obligation to buy, according to the pink paper.
It remains to be seen, however, whether Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso will allow Nico to join Juventus. Corriere dello Sport and Sport Mediaset reported on Tuesday that the Tuscan owner did not want to send the Argentine to Turin, and Sky Sport Gianluca Di Marzio confirmed the same today.
Atalanta are also interested in Nico who was not called up for Fiorentina’s first Serie A game against Parma today.
