Nico González on his dream to play for River: what he said | OneFootball

The footballer from the Argentine National Team once again expressed his desire to wear the Millonario jersey.

Nicolás González, one of the figures of the Argentine National Team and currently having a great time at Atlético de Madrid, has once again made his dream clear: to play for River. The 27-year-old forward, a key player for Lionel Scaloni, did not hide his wish and assured that at some point he wants to wear the Millonario jersey.

In a recent interview, the former Juventus player acknowledged that both he and his family are fans of the Núñez club. “I would love to play for River, for myself, for my family, because we are fans, and for my brother too, who is a total fanatic,” confessed the attacker, who joined Diego Simeone's team this season seeking continuity and confidence.

The left-footer also revealed a detail that surprised the fans: River's management contacted him in recent months to try to bring him to the club. However, González was clear about the timing. “Now is not the time. I just arrived at Atlético de Madrid and I want to enjoy this moment. They are giving me what I needed, that little push in my life. I was coming from a not-so-good football moment and I am recovering it little by little. You have to prove yourself with this jersey,” he explained.

Even so, the footballer affirmed that the dream remains intact and that from Núñez they let him know that they are waiting for him “with open arms.” “Someday I would like it to happen,” he assured.

Meanwhile, González also has a clear vision of how he imagines the end of his career. Once he fulfills the dream of playing at the Monumental, he wishes to return to the club that formed him: Argentinos Juniors. “I would love to retire at Argentinos. Thanks to them, I am who I am. I would like to wear that jersey; whether it's for a year, six months, or whatever time I have. And I would like to be in good physical shape. I have the age in mind to return, but I'm not going to say it,” he added with a laugh.

Amid a European present, projection in the National Team, and marked dreams, Nicolás González left open a door that excites the fans of River and also those of Argentinos, who are already imagining his return.
