Atalanta fight Juventus for Nico Gonzalez after PSG poach Lookman | OneFootball

Fiorentina winger Nico Gonzalez is suddenly back in the mix for Atalanta after PSG dived in for Ademola Lookman, with the added bonus of upsetting Juventus.

The transfer market has been dominated by domino effects this summer and a new piece has entered the game.

Lookman is not in the Atalanta squad for tomorrow’s Serie A trip to Lecce, amid reports from Sky Sport Italia that he asked to be excluded thanks to an approach from Paris Saint-Germain.

It is a similar situation to the one ruling Teun Koopmeiners out because he is pushing for a transfer to Juventus.

Atalanta turn to Juventus target Nico Gonzalez

With that in mind, the idea that La Dea are going to seek Nico Gonzalez as a replacement for Lookman takes on a different aspect.

This is because the player reportedly has an agreement in place with Juventus, so snatching him away from under their noses would feel like transfer revenge for Koopmeiners.

The Argentina international is also best suited to replacing Lookman, being able to play on the right or left flank.

It remains to be seen if Atalanta can convince Nico Gonzalez to join them rather than Juventus, but Fiorentina are ready to sell on loan with an obligation to buy for a total €30m.
