Atletico unlikely to trigger obligation on Juventus loanee Gonzalez
Nicolas Gonzalez is expected to return to Juventus this summer, with Atletico Madrid unlikely to activate the clause that would make his move permanent.
The winger joined Atletico on loan until June 2026 in a deal worth âŹ1m, potentially rising with bonuses. The agreement also included an obligation to buy for âŹ32m, payable in instalments, but only if certain conditions were met during the season.
One of those conditions relates to appearances, requiring Gonzalez to feature in at least 60% of matches for a minimum of 45 minutes.
Due to a combination of injuries and rotation, that threshold is now unlikely to be reached, as per TuttoMercatoWeb.
