Atlético de Madrid is close to completing their final summer transfer: Nico González. According to Matteo Moretto, the Colchonero team has reached an agreement with Juventus for the Argentine player.
Nico González will arrive on loan with an option to buy, a formula that could become mandatory under certain conditions. The only thing missing is the authorization from LaLiga, as reported by various sources.

Juventus is willing to accept a paid loan with a purchase option that may become mandatory.
Atlético is in contact with LaLiga for the possible registration of the Argentine player.
A Key Operation for Simeone
The erratic start to the season, with just two points in three matchdays, has hastened the search for offensive solutions. The Atlético board believes that Nico González can provide imbalance and depth on the wings, a resource that is scarce in the squad after the departure of Samu Lino.
The player himself, who no longer holds a prominent role at Juventus, is excited about the prospect of working under Diego Simeone. His goal is to revitalize his career in a year marked by the struggle for a place in Lionel Scaloni's World Cup squad.
Juventus Gives Green Light to Loan
The agreement between the clubs includes a paid loan with a purchase option close to 20 million euros. Reports from Italy confirm that Juventus seeks to lighten the squad and provide minutes to a player who played 35 games last season, accumulating over 2200 minutes with 5 goals and 4 assists in all competitions.
Despite those numbers, Massimiliano Allegri significantly reduced his role in the team, prompting the Argentine to accept the move. According to Fabrizio Romano, "Nico is convinced that Simeone is the ideal coach to regain his best form."
Atlético de Madrid and Their Need in Attack
The arrival of Nico González addresses an evident lack: individual imbalance on the wings. Giuliano Simeone has not been able to establish himself as a key player, and the summer signings—Johnny Cardoso, Alejandro Baena, Thiago Almada, and Giacomo Raspadori—still require adaptation.
As Simeone said after the draw against Alavés: "We have quality, but we need more aggressiveness in the final third." This is where the Argentine winger fits in, capable of operating on both sides and providing immediate one-on-one solutions.
The Final Step: LaLiga Approval
The signing of Nico González by Atlético de Madrid is not yet official as it requires validation from LaLiga. The deal includes a loan fee and conditions that would trigger a mandatory purchase, necessitating approval from the organization before the market closes.
If completed, the Argentine will become the fourth reinforcement for the Rojiblanco club this summer, in a project aiming to compete for titles in both LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League.
