Nico González speaks again about his dream to play for River: what he said | OneFootball

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

Nicolás González, one of the stars of the Argentina National Team and currently enjoying a great moment at Atlético de Madrid, 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 admitted that both he and his family are fans of the Núñez club. “I would love to play for River, for me, for my family, because we’re fans, and for my brother too, who is totally obsessed,” confessed the striker, who this season joined Diego Simeone’s team in search of consistency and confidence.

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

Even so, the footballer stated that the dream is still alive and that those at Núñez let him know they are waiting for him “with open arms.” “Someday I’d like it to happen,” he assured.

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

Between his European present, his future with the National Team, and his well-defined dreams, Nicolás González left the door open, giving hope to the fans of River and also to those of Argentinos, who are already imagining his return.
