Inter Open Contact For Nico Gonzalez As Diaby Talks Stall

Juventus's willingness to accept a loan with an option would make Gonzalez a low‑risk fallback for clubs seeking a versatile wide attacker.

Overview

  • Inter opened initial contact with Nico Gonzalez's representatives on Monday as they seek a left‑side solution after their primary pursuit of Moussa Diaby ran into trouble.
  • Diaby remains Inter's top target but negotiations have stalled because Al‑Ittihad's high salary demands would likely need the Saudi club to help cover wages for any move.
  • Juventus are reported to be open to a loan with an option to buy, a stance made possible by Gonzalez's contract situation and which would lower the immediate cost and risk for a buying club.
  • AS Roma have also shown interest and see Gonzalez as an alternative to targets such as Antonio Nusa, setting up competition that could shape the fee or loan terms.
  • Gonzalez revived his value with Argentina at the 2026 World Cup after a quiet loan at Atletico, and his pace and versatility make him a candidate to play on either flank or adapt into a wing‑back role if a deal progresses.
