Everton, Fulham make approach for Nico Gonzalez
Everton and Fulham are reportedly interested in signing 27-year-old Argentine international Nico Gonzalez from Serie A club Juventus in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Tuttosport, as relayed by Sport Witness, Everton and Fulham are keen on Nico Gonzalez. The two Premier League clubs are eager to reinforce their offensive units by signing a wide attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the 27-year-old Juventus winger has emerged as a target for them.
The Serie A giants are open to cashing in on the South American attacker to fund a move for Jadon Sancho, with minor details holding the deal back. Meanwhile, Everton and Fulham have submitted enquiries to discuss a summer move for Gonzalez with Juventus.
Nico Gonzalez and his situation
Nico Gonzalez has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Juventus from Fiorentina. The 27-year-old spent his formative years in Argentina and graduated from the youth division at Argentinos Juniors. However, he rose in prominence during his spell with Fiorentina before moving across Serie A on an initial loan deal last summer.
However, the Argentine international did not stamp his authority, managing only five goals and four assists in 38 outings for Juventus. While the Serie A giants have completed a permanent move this summer, they are ready to cash in on him in the summer transfer window. The Premier League may be his next destination, with Everton and Fulham among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Everton’s interest in Nico Gonzalez is understandable. The Toffees are scouring the market for a wide attacker this summer after deciding against completing permanent moves for Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom. Several candidates, including Tyler Dibling, are on Everton’s radar, with the Juventus winger also a viable target for Everton.
As for Fulham, the Cottagers have barely signed any players, and they are keen on signing a wide attacker this summer. Widespread reports have suggested that Fulham will likely complete a permanent move for Reiss Nelson after a loan spell in the 2024/25 season. However, Gonzalez is also an option worth considering.
Everton and Fulham have submitted enquiries over a possible summer move. With Juventus ready to cash in on the 27-year-old Argentine winger, it will be interesting to see if he moves to England in the ongoing transfer window.
