Juventus continues to think about swapping Gonzalez for Atletico Madrid star | OneFootball

Juventus want another attacker, and the Old Lady is not relying heavily on Nicolas Gonzalez, meaning they could sacrifice him in a deal for one of their main summer targets, Alexander Sorloth.

Sorloth is a player the Bianconeri have followed for months, and Luciano Spalletti likes the profile of the Norwegian star. The Juventus manager would therefore be delighted to have him in his squad and could see him as an important addition to the team’s attacking options.

Atletico Madrid do not want to sell their best players, but Sorloth could be allowed to leave under the right conditions. The Spanish side remains interested in signing Gonzalez, creating the possibility of a deal that could benefit both clubs.

Gonzalez spent last season on loan at Atletico Madrid and performed well. Diego Simeone is keen to bring him back, while the Argentinian also wants to return to Madrid, making a potential move appealing to the player.

Juventus Consider Swap Deal

This has created the conditions for the two clubs to potentially swap players. Tuttomercatoweb reveals that Juventus are also considering a swap deal that would see Sorloth become a member of their squad while Gonzalez returns to Atletico Madrid.

Juventus do not believe it makes sense to have only Randal Kolo Muani as the reliable striker in the squad. They want another dependable attacking option, and Sorloth could provide the competition and depth they need.

The Norwegian has already enjoyed a good spell in Spain, but the opportunity to move to Turin could be appealing. Juventus would be able to add a player Spalletti likes, while Atletico would regain an attacker who already knows the club.

Sorloth Could Move to Turin

Sorloth has had a good time in Spain, but he could be more than happy to agree to a move to Turin and continue his career with Juventus. The potential transfer would give him the chance to play for another major European club while offering the Bianconeri another attacking option.

For Juventus, the possibility of exchanging Gonzalez for Sorloth could be a practical solution to their need for another attacker. They would strengthen their squad without simply relying on Kolo Muani, while Gonzalez could return to a club where he has already impressed.

The proposed swap therefore makes sense for both sides, although the clubs would still need to agree on the terms. Juventus will hope the discussions progress as they look to add Sorloth to their squad.
