Transfer season drama is heating up in Europe as Atlético Madrid and Juventus are reportedly deep in discussions over not one, not two, but three high-profile player moves.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the talks have brought some unexpected names to the table, setting the stage for what could be one of the most interesting deals of the summer.
Omo, this is going to hot — because the names involved are serious game-changers.
First Name: Nico González
Sources claim that Atlético Madrid boss Diego Simeone has his eyes firmly on Nico González as part of his search for fresh attacking firepower. The Argentine international is said to be among the top targets to strengthen the club’s options in the final third.
Second Name: Nahuel Molina
While discussing González’s availability, Juventus allegedly decided to turn the conversation around and enquire about Nahuel Molina.
The Bianconeri are in the market for a new right-back, and Molina — who previously impressed in Serie A with Udinese— fits their requirements perfectly. His experience in Italy and attacking style make him an appealing option for the Turin-based side.
Omo, imagine both clubs swapping star players like market day — transfer gist no dey ever tire football fans.
Third Name: Dušan Vlahović
The final twist in the talks reportedly involves Dušan Vlahović. Atlético Madrid’s board are said to be preparing for the possible exit of Alexander Sørloth, who is attracting mounting interest from the Premier League.
With Vlahović now out of favour at Juventus and having just one year left on his contract, he could be available at a cut-price fee — making him an attractive replacement option for the La Liga giants.
The Bigger Picture
If these talks lead to deals, it could spark one of the most surprising multi-player transfers of the year. For now, fans are watching closely to see if Atlético and Juventus will turn negotiations into concrete signings before the transfer window slams shut.
