Newcastle United have been linked with a move for 26-year-old Fiorentina attacker Nicolas Gonzalez this summer.
Nicolas Gonzalez is on the radar of Newcastle United. And a report by Corriere dello Sport via Sport Witness has claimed that the Serie A outfit are open to selling the Argentine international this summer.
A report by La Nazione has suggested that Gonzalez is valued at €30 million, and it will be interesting to see if Newcastle United are willing to pay up. The Magpies have the financial muscle to get the deal done, and Gonzalez should prove to be a useful acquisition.
The Argentine international has proven himself in Germany and Italy while winning the 2024 Copa America with La Albiceleste. He has the technical attributes to succeed in English football as well. Nicolas Gonzalez is versatile enough to operate on both flanks as well as a central attacking midfielder. He will add goals and creativity to the Newcastle attack.
The Magpies need more cutting edge in the final third, and the Argentine international seems like the ideal fit for them. The reported €30 million asking price seems reasonable for a player of his quality as well, and he should be able to justify the investment in the coming seasons.
Gonzalez could be temped to join Newcastle United
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite attractive for Nicolas Gonzalez as well. It would be a huge step up for him, and he would get to test himself at a high level. Newcastle United are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they have an ambitious project. The South American attacker will certainly want to be a part of that.
Gonzalez has recently helped Argentina win the 2024 Copa America, and he will look to push for trophies at club level now. Newcastle United were overly dependent on Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon for goals and creativity last season. They will need to improve in that department if they are serious about European qualification next season.
The Tyneside outfit missed out on Champions League qualification last season, and they will need to improve the squad immensely to finish in the top four next season. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can get the deal done before the window closes.
