Atlético keep Nico González option alive | OneFootball

Although initially Atlético had considered the squad closed, the window for a possible move in the market remains open and stronger than ever. The red and white team, after the last draw against Alavés, are preparing for different scenarios in the event of a departure, while Carlos Bucero is working on the option of incorporating the desired dribbler that Simeone has been demanding for some time after running out of specialists in that area with Lino, Riquelme or even Correa. The name that resonates the most is Nico González. After the signing of Raspadori, the arrival of the Argentine from Juventus seemed to have cooled down, but the willingness shown then kept him in the red and white orbit. The footballer himself, an international with Argentina, has waited until the end with the hope of achieving his goal.

Nico's preference is clear, to wear red and white, despite the interest of other European teams. In addition to competing with Giuliano, he can offer breakthroughs on the left wing, a profile that Atlético does not have in abundance. Therefore, now that the market is heating up, the club keeps open the possibility of going for his signing, largely conditioned by the offers that may come for Conor Gallagher. The Premier League is closely following him, with Tottenham as the main interested party, but there is still no firm proposal. If an offer close to the 42 million that Atlético invested in him last summer were to arrive, that figure would allow both to look for a substitute for the Englishman and to activate the incorporation of Nico González.

The red and white determination to strengthen the squad is such that, even if Gallagher does not leave, the departure of other players considered secondary would be contemplated. All this with the advantage of having versatile players that would allow freeing up the necessary space for the arrival of Nico González without his incorporation forcing another parallel operation.
