Italian media: Juventus considers exchanging Nico Gonzalez for Casey, 18 million euros annual salary becomes an obstacle

July 15th According to "Slow Motion", Juventus is interested in Jeddah national midfielder Casey and is considering exchanging with Nico Gonzalez.

Casey, 28, is a midfielder in Côte d'Ivoire. She has played for Barcelona, Milan, Atlanta, Cesena and other teams. She joined the Saudi team Jeddah Nationals in 2023. However, Casey is now interested in returning to Italy to play football, and Juventus is interested in Casey and hopes to sign him to strengthen the midfield position.

In order to get Casey, Juventus is willing to exchange Nico Gonzalez to persuade the Jeddah nationals to release the players. Nico Gonzalez has been included in the roster of Juventus. Casey and Jeddah Nationals have only one year left to contract, which also helps the negotiations. However, Casey's annual salary in Saudi Arabia is currently as high as 18 million euros, which is a hindrance to the transaction. Juventus will not pay such a high salary for him, and players need to accept salary cuts.
