Atlético Madrid are unwilling to meet Juventus’ asking price of €30 million ($35.1 million) for Argentine winger Nicolás González and would rather pay closer to €20 million. The 27-year-old's contract with the Italian club runs until June 30, 2029, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €24 million. The Spanish club is negotiating hard to bring down the transfer fee as it seeks to strengthen its squad without overspending. Leeds United have also been linked with the player.
