Juventus are hoping to finalise an agreement with Fiorentina for star winger Nnico Gonozalez this week, and could include two of their current senior players to sweeten the deal, according to recent reports. 

Juventus look to include own players in Nico Gonzalez deal

Juve are hoping to seal a deal with Fiorentina in the coming days, expecting to reach an agreement somewhere in the region of €30m-€35m including bonuses, according to recent updates from Sky Sport Italia. 

Juventus could look to include either Arthur Melo or Filip Kostic in the deal to potentially lower the upfront cost of the deal. 

Arthur has only just returned to Juventus after enjoying a relatively successful loan spell with La Viola in 2023-24. He had endured a torrid time with injuries while on loan with Liverpool in the Premier League the season before, where he made just one first team appearance the whole season. 

Kostic is one of several Juventus first team players who are not currently part of Thiago Motta’s plans at the Allianz Stadium. That list also includes the likes of Federico Chiesa, Tiago Djalo, who could be on the move to Roma, and Polish frontman Arkadiusz Milik. 

Juventus hope to have a deal wrapped up for Nico Gonzalez by the weekend, as they hope to include him in the squad for Monday’s Serie A fixture away against Verona.
