In the last weeks of the summer transfer window, the name of Nico Gonzalez was also mentioned in connection with Inter, as a possible opportunity for the Nerazzurri. However, the Argentine stayed at Juventus, where he then earned a prominent role.

According to Sky Sport, there is a significant backstory behind that period of uncertainty. “Spalletti did not play Nico Gonzalez in the first match because he seemed destined to leave, to return to Atletico Madrid. Now, however, he is ready to renew his contract, the agreements are in place and only the announcement is missing. From a player on his way out to a renewal, he is now a key player for Spalletti,” explained the network’s correspondent.

The trajectory of the Argentine winger this season therefore tells a story opposite to expectations: starting as a possible departure, he has become a mainstay, with an agreement for renewal already reached and only the official announcement still to come.
