With two points about nine after losing with Espanyol (2-1) and the Alavés the nerves have been installed in Atlético de Madrid. The assignment with a purchase option for about 30 million euros from the Argentine end Nico González (27 years old) from Juventus de Turin responds to the restlessness to the disappointing start of the season that Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, top shareholder of the club, Carlos Bucero, general director of Soccer, and Diego Pablo Simeone, and Diego Pablo Simeone. These last two are in the focus after having disbursed the 175 million euros club before the operation of Nico González, international for Argentina on 43 occasions (six goals).
except in the case of the now injured Baena, and in the Hakko, the only signing that has given up at a good level, whether the rest of the hiring (cardoso, scraperi, almada, ruggeri, pubill) have enough rennet and quality to form a template that aspires to win titles. About Simeone, the doubt of whether he will be able to get the most out of a squad that led Gil Marín to venture to proclaim that “we are doing a team to dream big.” The results have deflated expectations in just three league games and before a rugged calendar in the coming weeks dotted with complicated rivals (Liverpool, Villarreal and Real Madrid), the club has been forced to undertake a signing that did not enter its plans.
He announced during the presentation of Raspadori that the market was already closed for Atlético. Also from the club they were in charge of reinforcing Cerezo’s words. They even admitted that with Nico González he stopped speaking when the signing of the Italian international was completed. The operation has accelerated in recent days. On Friday, Bucero was on the Cerro del Espino de Majadahonda to meet Simeone. In the press conference prior to the game with Alavés, the Argentine coach already dropped that the market was not closed for Atlético. “Every day I talk to Miguel Ángel [Gil Marín] and Carlos [Bucero] To close the template as you have to close it, ”said Cholo. Only three days later, Nico González has passed the medical examination and his signing has been formalized.
Initially, Nico González arrives to compete for a position on the right wing with Giuliano Simeone or with Almada on the left. Once his signing has been formalized, the player leaves with Argentina to play two classification games for the 2026 World Cup.
