**Atlético de Madrid** is preparing to make another move in the **transfer market**, with the intention of adding **Nico González** to their attack, as reported by [Nicolo Schira](https://x.com/NicoSchira/status/1959899475545403707).

The Atletico team has already invested more than 175 million euros in reinforcements this summer, but the modest results at the start of the season have accelerated the search for offensive solutions.

At the same time, **Conor Gallagher's departure** is being considered as a way to balance the finances and free up space in the squad. Crystal Palace is interested in signing the English midfielder.

Atletico wants to finish the market strongly

With just two matchdays played in **LaLiga 2024/25**, the team led by Diego Simeone has only picked up one point out of a possible six. The defeat to Espanyol (2-1) and the home draw against Elche (1-1) have shown that the deep renovation has yet to translate into victories.

In this transfer window, the red-and-white team has signed players like Álex Baena, Dávid Hancko, Johnny Cardoso, Giacomo Raspadori, Thiago Almada, Matteo Ruggeri, Marc Pubill, and Juan Musso. However, the lack of offensive sharpness has reopened the need to add a player with dribbling skills and versatility.

Nico González, the priority for Atlético's attack

The main target now is **Nico González**, a 27-year-old Argentine forward currently playing for **Juventus**. His relationship with Croatian coach Igor Tudor is going through a difficult time, opening the door to a possible departure from the Italian club.

According to journalist Nicolò Schira, Atletico is already preparing an initial offer close to 30 million euros, a minimum figure that Juventus would be willing to consider. González, a native of Belén de Escobar, is a left winger with the ability to play on both flanks, known for his speed, change of pace, and goal-scoring prowess. Last season, he scored 7 goals and provided 5 assists in 34 official matches for the Vecchia Signora.

His signing would not only strengthen the attack but also provide Simeone with a different option from the current profiles in his squad.

Conor Gallagher, potential sale to finance the deal

The arrival of González is directly linked to the **departure of Conor Gallagher**, the English midfielder who arrived at Atletico with high expectations but has not managed to establish himself as a regular starter.

**Crystal Palace** has shown strong interest in bringing back the player, who shone at Selhurst Park during the 2021/22 season. The London club, under Oliver Glasner's direction, believes that the return of the English international would be key to bolstering their midfield.

Gallagher, 25, has had limited minutes at the start of this campaign due to fierce competition in the Atletico midfield. The deal, still in the early stages, could be finalized through a loan or a permanent transfer if both parties reach an agreement.

**Atlético de Madrid** is seeking a delicate balance between strengthening their team and maintaining financial sustainability. The arrival of **Nico González** largely depends on freeing up salary space and generating income from the departure of **Conor Gallagher**. Meanwhile, Simeone is analyzing how to restructure the team to regain the intensity and vertical play that characterize his side.

With just a few days left in the summer transfer window, the Metropolitano Stadium could witness crucial movements. The fans hope that the new signings, along with potential additions like González, will provide the necessary impetus to compete for national and international titles once again.
