Still, both he and Atleti are reportedly keen to continue working together. The Argentine put in a series of encouraging performances during his time in Madrid and is still hoping to return , but Atleti thus far have not been able to strike a deal with Juventus for his permanent transfer.
Juventus have been willing to lower their €32m valuation of Nico Gonzalez, but are still seeking a fee in the region of €28m.

Tuttosport claims that Milan have the funds available to be able to satisfy Juventus’s demands, and that they also have several players they may be able to offer the Old Lady in an exchange deal, including the likes of Fikayo Tomori and Youssouf Fofana.
Fofana and Tomori are part of a list of players now considered surplus to requirements in San Siro by Rossoneri head coach Ruben Amorim. They and several other players are no longer part of the project and this could lead to a ‘mini-revolution’ towards the end of the summer transfer window.
Monday’s report from Tuttosport claims that Milan could shift up to 12 players before the close of the transfer window and that Amorim is still hoping to add another five or six new faces to his squad, especially in attacking areas.

What happened
Nico Gonzalez, who joined Juventus from Fiorentina, is reportedly attracting interest from both AC Milan and Atletico Madrid. The Argentine winger has struggled for consistent form at Juventus, and a potential move could see him return to familiar Serie A surroundings with Milan or make a switch to La Liga with Atletico. The competition between two major clubs could drive up the price and create a bidding situation in the upcoming transfer window.
Chance analysis
Gonzalez's potential availability signals Juventus may be open to trimming their squad, which could indicate broader restructuring under their current management. Milan's interest suggests they are looking to add width and creativity, while Atletico Madrid's involvement could complicate negotiations. A transfer would impact Milan's attacking options if completed, and for Juventus, it would free up wages and a squad spot. The dual interest may accelerate negotiations.
If completed, Gonzalez's transfer would weaken Juventus's wide options while strengthening the attacking depth of either Milan or Atletico Madrid.
Monitor this transfer as it could affect Milan's or Atletico's attacking depth and tactical setup for the next season.
