The summer transfer window in Serie A ends today at 20:00 CET (19:00 BST). Make sure you follow all the live updates and confirmed transfers on the Football Italia LIVEBLOG.

Nico Gonzalez, who joined Juventus on loan with an obligation to buy from Fiorentina last summer, leaves the Allianz Stadium after one season, during which he provided five goals and four assists from 38 appearances across all competitions.

The Old Lady have confirmed that he has joined Atletico Madrid for an initial loan fee of €1m, which could rise to €2m if bonus clauses are activated. Atleti will also have an option to make the move permanent at a later date for an additional fee of €32m.

Juventus spent €8m to sign Nico on loan last season, in a deal that included a €25m buy option, bonuses of up to €5m and ancillary fees of €3.1m.

His departure paves the way for Juve to welcome Edon Zhegrova and Lois Openda, who have both had their Bianconeri medicals on deadline day.
