The arrival of Jadon Sancho depends on the sale of the Argentine. On the former violet there is Al Ahli, but the attempt’s calls try it

Courted, chased, expected, torn from the competition after a long battle. Not even a year later, however, already a redundancies. Even a “cap”, which risks blocking the incoming incoming operations. In not even 330 days the perception of Nico Gonzalez in the Juventus environment completely overturned. It was August 25, 2024, when the bianconeri announced its arrival from Fiorentina for 8 million loan plus 25 of redemption obligation. The Argentine, back from a season of 16 goals and 5 assists in 44 games with Viola, seemed to be the missing piece to complete the attack of Thiago Motta, giving unpredictability and offensive weight to a team lately too sterile. Yet, after a discreet departure (goals and assisting the Champions League debut against PSV Eindhoven), also due to an injury that kept him out over 2 months, Nico never managed to take Juve. Not even the arrival of Tudor, with whom he started well from the right outdoor outdoors, also scoring heavy goals in the race in fourth place, interrupted his negative spiral. And now the Croatian has made it clear, with his choices during the Club World Cup, that the Argentine is among the players who less manage to relocate themselves to his new sports project.

Where could Nico Gonzalez go

The lean booty of the former purple (5 goals and 4 assists in 38 games) certainly does not trigger the race to ensure it. For him, however, in the last week the Al-Ahli, Asia champion club in office and willing to offer 30 million to Juve and a rich engagement to the Argentine, has come forward. Nico Gonzalez thinks seriously, also because, in the year that leads to the World Cup, he could play continuously. To complicate things, in the last few days, were the calls to his agents by Inter, who take him into consideration as Piano B in the event that they could not get to Lookman. In the background there is also Atalanta and Atletico Madrid and all this risks slowing down the operation with the Arabs. Moreover, none of these clubs would guarantee Juve a figure close to that offered by the Saudi Pro Legue team, which would allow the bianconeri to cover the residual assessment of Nico’s budget of over 27 million.

Nico Gonzalez Libera Sancho

Yes, it’s all a matter of accounts. The Argentine, thanks to the benefits of the growth decree, does not earn a lot (4.72 million gross), but has a depreciation weight of just under 7 million per year. His departure, therefore, would free a “space” of just under 12 million in the Juventus budget: a slightly lower figure than what Jadon Sancho would weigh. “I’m here at Juventus to help,” Nico Gonzalez said last year on his presentation. The help, in this case, would be to leave the continassa. And “stapping” the Juve market.
