Juve star Gonzalez seals season-long Atleti loan
Atletico Madrid announced the arrival of versatile Juventus forward Nicolas Gonzalez on a season-long loan deal.
Gonzalez arrives in the Spanish capital to bolster Diego Simeone's attacking ranks, with the deal including an obligation to buy for a reported €34m fee.
The 27 year-old spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Juventus from Fiorentina before completing a permanent €28.1m switch earlier this summer.
He made 38 appearances across all competitions for the Bianconeri, scoring five goals and registering four assists.
Gonzalez becomes the latest name to sign for Atletico, with Simeone's side undergoing a squad overhaul ahead of the 2025-2026 campaign.
The Argentina international is Atletico's 11th signing of the summer, following the likes of Alex Baena, David Hancko, Johnny Cardoso and Giacomo Raspadori through the doors at the Metropolitano.
However, Simeone's new-look squad has started their LaLiga campaign poorly, taking just two points from its first three games in the Spanish top flight.
Atleti drew 1-1 with Alaves on Sunday, meaning it failed to win its first three league games of a season for the first time since 2009-2010 under Abel Resino.
Gonzalez could be in line to make his Atletico bow against Villarreal on 13 September.
