Atlético Madrid ‘very close’ to last-minute signing of Juventus star | OneFootball

La Liga giants Atlético Madrid are closing on the signing of a member of the attacking ranks at Italian outfit Juventus.

That’s according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, who highlights Nico González as the player in question.

The name of frontman González has of course long proven a prominent one in the media chatter surrounding Atlético Madrid.

As much comes after word was forthcoming that Diego Simeone and co. had identified the Argentine international as the ideal addition to the Rojiblancos’ frontline.

Talks, in turn, have long been ongoing between Juve and Atléti.

And if the latest word doing the rounds on Sunday is anything to go by, then an agreement being found now appears closer than ever before.

As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano:

‘Understand agreement between Atlético and Juve for Nico González is very close! Understand it’s loan move with a fee plus buy option clause to become mandatory under certain conditions.

‘Key issue: Nico’s registration must be approved by La Liga. No green light yet.’
