Fabrizio Romano reveals Juventus’ final obstacle in landing Edon Zhegrova

The transfer saga surrounding Juventus’s Nico González appears to be reaching its conclusion.

Despite initial statements from Juventus coach Igor Tudor expressing his pleasure at having González in the squad, the Argentine winger is now increasingly likely to depart for Atlético Madrid.

According to well-known transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, an agreement between Juventus and Atlético Madrid is very close.

The deal is expected to be a paid loan with an option to buy, contingent on certain conditions being met.

While the two clubs are nearing an agreement, one key issue remains: the approval of La Liga. For the transfer to be finalized, the player’s registration must be approved by the Spanish league.

As of now, the green light has not yet been given, creating the last major hurdle for the deal.

The potential departure of Nico González is a crucial piece of a larger puzzle for Juventus. The winger’s exit would pave the way for the arrival of Lille’s Edon Zhegrova.

Zhegrova has already reached a full agreement with Juventus, and the club is reportedly close to finalizing terms with Lille.

The domino effect is clear: once the Argentine winger’s move is confirmed, Juventus can make an all-out push for the Lille player.
