Newcastle United are reportedly keen on signing 26-year-old Argentine attacker Nicolas Gonzalez from Fiorentina this summer.
Nicolas Gonzalez was in outstanding form for Fiorentina this past season, and he was a part of the squad with Argentina that won the 2024 Copa America earlier this summer as well.
Gonzalez has proven himself in Italian football and the Bundesliga in the past. The 26-year-old has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and he could be a key player for Newcastle. According to a report from Calciomercato, Newcastle United will face competition from Atalanta and Juventus for the 26-year-old South American attacker.
Nicolas Gonzalez will add pace, flair and goals to the Newcastle attack if he joins the club. The 2024 Copa America winner has proven himself in Serie A, and he will look to make his mark in the Premier League now, with Newcastle United pushing hard for his signature.
The Magpies have an ambitious project, and they have the resources to sign the top players as well. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. Previously, Fiorentina have turned down an offer of around €40 million from Brentford. But the player is unlikely to fetch that kind of money now. A knockdown fee could be enough to get the deal done.
Newcastle need more quality in the attack
Newcastle United need to add more cutting edge in the final third. Nicolas Gonzalez will chip in with goals and creativity if he joins the club. He has the technical attributes to do well in English football, and he could transform Newcastle United in the final third. The Argentine international scored 15 goals and picked up five assists last season.
A move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for the player as well. He would get to test himself against top class teams in England and competing against them could help him improve further. The player is at the peak of his powers and it remains to be seen whether he can help Newcastle push for trophies next season.
The Magpies will look to push for a top four finish as well, so that they can secure qualification to the Champions League. However, with Juventus and Atalanta ahead of the Tyneside outfit, they might be in a losing battle.
