Nicolas Gonzalez faces an uncertain future as he wants to stay at Atletico Madrid, where he played on loan last season, but the Spanish club have not yet reached an agreement to keep him permanently.
There was a pre agreed fee between both clubs before he completed the move, but he did not trigger the mandatory purchase clause, and Atletico now want fresh negotiations before deciding whether to complete a permanent transfer.
Gonzalez could still become an important player for Juventus under Luciano Spalletti if he returns to Turin, but the attacker does not appear interested in a second chance at the club after struggling during his first season there.
Atletico Madrid Yet To Reach Agreement
--------------------------------------
There are expected to be further discussions between the clubs in the coming weeks, and Juventus may eventually have to consider the player’s wishes as uncertainty over his future continues.
Spalletti has reportedly contacted Gonzalez to assure him that he would have an important role in his plans if a permanent agreement with Atletico cannot be reached.
Despite that reassurance, the attacker still wants to leave Juventus and continue his career in Madrid, where he believes he can enjoy greater stability and a more suitable environment for his development.
Filippo Bonsignore Provides Update

Filippo Bonsignore said via [Tuttojuve](https://www.tuttojuve.com/calciomercato/bonsignore-nico-gonzalez-restare-juve-valuta-sorloth-vicario-rimonta-martinez-782594):
“Of those Spalletti will find at Continassa, Nico Gonzalez would certainly be the best, because he is very flexible and would find the ideal coach in him, something Spalletti himself recently told him.
“But despite everything, it seems he would prefer to stay in Madrid. Here too, 25-28 million, which would be pure gold for the budget, are dancing, and there are also open discussions with the red and whites, not least that of Sorloth.”
Juventus are therefore expected to continue negotiations while evaluating the financial benefits of a potential sale, especially as the club continues reshaping the squad ahead of the new season under Spalletti’s leadership.
