Reports in Italy claim that Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli are prepared to meet Juventus’s demands for winger Nico Gonzalez, who will be allowed to leave the Allianz Stadium after just one year if a suitable offer comes in.
According to recent reports, Juventus will allow Nico Gonzalez to leave after a relatively underwhelming first season in Turin, during which he provided three goals and two assists from his 26 appearances in Serie A.
Igor Tudor has typically deployed a 3-4-2-1 system, which does not always get the best out of the Argentina international. As per La Gazzetta dello Sport, Francisco Conceicao will continue to be the preferred option if the club are able to bring him back for the 2025-26 season.
The Bianconeri paid a fee of €8m to bring Nico Gonzalez on board on loan for the 2024-25 season, plus a €25m fee to make the move permanent, not including bonuses or add-ons.
Reports over the weekend claimed that an offer of around €25m ought to be enough to convince Juventus into parting ways with Nico Gonzalez this summer.
However, according to updates from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Al-Ahli of the Saudi Pro League are prepared to offer a fee of around €30m to lure the 27-year-old away from Juve this summer.
It is also understood that if Al-Ahli were to formulate an official offer, they would also be able to offer Nico Gonzalez an increase from the €3.6m-per-season net salary he currently earns in Turin.
