Besiktas have joined the race for Nico Gonzalez, with the Turkish club looking to add the Juventus winger to their pursuit of Dusan Vlahovic this summer.

According to Tuttosport , Gonzalez is one of several players Juventus are prepared to sell as they look to raise funds for further additions before the transfer window closes.

The Argentine returned to Turin after Atletico Madrid opted against making his loan move permanent, though the Spanish club are still working to bring him back under Diego Simeone.

Gonzalez resumed individual training at Juventus’ Continassa base on 13 August following his involvement at the World Cup, and was notably left out when the club presented their fringe players, including Arthur and Milik, to fans at the Allianz Stadium last weekend, a sign he is not part of Igor Tudor’s plans.

The move would reunite him with two familiar faces: Vlahovic , with whom he shares 42 appearances for Fiorentina and Juventus combined, and Italiano, under whom Gonzalez enjoyed some of his best form, scoring 25 goals and adding 14 assists in 86 appearances at Fiorentina.

Napoli and Milan have also been credited with interest in the 28-year-old this summer.

What happened

Nico Gonzalez, who joined Juventus from Fiorentina, is reportedly a target for several clubs in the upcoming transfer window. Turkish side Besiktas has shown concrete interest, while Vincenzo Italiano's Fiorentina — Gonzalez's former club — are also keen on a reunion. AC Milan are additionally linked with the Argentine winger, indicating a competitive market for a player who has struggled for regular minutes in Turin. The situation suggests Juventus may be open to offloading Gonzalez if a suitable offer arrives.

Chance analysis

Nico Gonzalez's potential departure from Juventus highlights the difficulty of the Argentine winger's adaptation to life in Turin following his high-profile move from Fiorentina. With multiple Serie A and European suitors — including a Fiorentina side now coached by his former mentor Italiano, a Besiktas side looking to add Serie A quality, and Milan monitoring the situation — Gonzalez appears to have options that could suit different tactical environments. For Juventus, moving Gonzalez on would free up a non-EU or foreign registration slot and provide funds for midfield reinforcements, while for the buying clubs his proven Italian pedigree makes him an attractive January acquisition.

Impact

Gonzalez's likely Juventus exit weakens Bianconeri wide depth but gives interested clubs a proven Serie A winger option.
