Moretto: Atletico Madrid make their decision on Nico Gonzalez purchase
Atletico Madrid have reportedly opted against activating the clause to buy Nico Gonzalez from Juventus, but theyâll still attempt to keep him at the club.
The Bianconeri bought the Argentine from Fiorentina in the summer of 2024, but he endured an underwhelming first campaign in Turin, prompting the two parties to part ways last summer.
The 28-year-old ended up joining the Colchoneros on loan with an option and an obligation to buy for âŹ32 million.
Gonzalez initially found success in the Spanish capital, but his campaign was hampered by a couple of injuries. He has recently returned to action, but he hasnât always been a regular starter.
In order to trigger Atleticoâs obligation to buy clause, the winger must make at least 21 appearances in LaLiga for 45+ minutes.
At this stage, the former Fiorentina star is five appearances away from fulfilling this objective, but he only has seven rounds remaining before the end of the season.
According to Italian journalist Matteo Moretto (via JuventusNews24), Atletico Madrid are keen to prevent this scenario, as they donât intend to spend âŹ32 million on Gonzalez.
This could be a blow for Diego Simeone, who enjoys having his compatriot at his disposal, even if he hasnât always entrusted him with a starting role.

Despite the Colchonerosâ stance, Moretto doesnât rule out a future for Gonzalez at the Metropolitano.
As the source explains, Atleticoâs plan is to avoid a purchase on the terms agreed upon with Juventus last summer.
But once that accord collapses, the Spanish capital side will be looking to open new negotiations with the Bianconeri, with the aim of reaching an agreement on more favourable terms.
In other words, Atletico would be happy to accommodate Gonzalez beyond the current campaign, but only if Juventus grant them a discount.
Interestingly, the two clubs were involved in a similar situation back in the summer of 2022, when the Serie A giants sought a discount on Alvaro Morataâs purchase, but the Rojiblancos slammed the door shut on that request, so the striker was reintegrated into Simeoneâs squad.
