Nico González keen to join River: "I’d love to, I’m a fan" | OneFootball

Nicolás González, one of Lionel Scaloni's key players in the Argentine National Team and currently having a great time at Atlético de Madrid, once again publicly expressed his desire to wear River's jersey in the not-too-distant future: "I would love to."

With his usual sincerity, the 27-year-old player, who this season left Juventus to join Diego Simeone's team, acknowledged that he wants to fulfill the dream of playing in Núñez "for myself, for my family, because we are fans, and for my brother too, who is a total fanatic."

In fact, Nico González revealed that River's management "contacted him via WhatsApp" recently to make that dream come true, but he made it clear that now "is not the time." "I would like it to happen in the future. They told me they are waiting for me with open arms. Someday I would like that," he explained.

"I just arrived at Atlético de Madrid. I would like to enjoy it because they are giving me what I needed, that little push in my life. I was coming from a not-so-good football moment. Today, I am recovering little by little, and I have to prove myself with this jersey," elaborated the versatile left-footed player of the Argentine National Team.

Once he fulfills that first dream of moving to River and showcasing his football at the Monumental, González's future plan also includes, subsequently, returning to the club that gave him "everything": 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 however long I get. 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 shared, without giving more details about the planned dates.
