According to Gazzetta dello Sport, González wants to return to Atlético Madrid, while Juventus hopes to complete a permanent sale for €25 million to €30 million.
González's holiday is over, and he now needs to decide his future. The player rejected Spalletti's suggestion that he consider staying at Juventus, like Arthur and Douglas Luiz. He wants to leave Turin again as soon as possible, hoping to return to Atlético Madrid, reunite with Simeone, and continue playing there. Juventus are still evaluating the deal, hoping to maximize the transfer fee: their goal is a direct sale, only considering a loan if no offers are received by the end of the transfer window.
Quotation
González played for Atlético Madrid last year, but did not meet the conditions for triggering the mandatory buy-out clause. According to the clause, he should have played 25 60-minute matches; he did play a fair number, but not enough. Thus, Juventus, while still keeping the World Cup runner-up in the squad, cannot truly utilize him. Atlético Madrid, on the other hand, hopes to sign him back on a lower deal than the loan agreement reached last summer, which stipulated a buy-out fee of €32 million.
Will
Juventus are asking for around €25-30 million for Gonzalez. Atletico Madrid's current offer is around €20 million, so negotiations have stalled, with both sides waiting until the player's post-World Cup break. Now, the Argentine player hopes to finalize his future as soon as possible. Although several Serie A clubs have made moves, none have yet offered more than Atletico Madrid. Therefore, he hopes the two clubs can reach an agreement quickly so he can return to Madrid.
