Nicolas Gonzalez Agrees 5-Year Contract With Fiorentina

JAKARTA - Striker Nicolas Gonzalez has officially signed a contract with Fiorentina after three previous seasons with Stuttgart, the Serie A club confirmed.

The 23-year-old, who is currently playing in the Copa America with the Argentina national team with eight caps and two goals, has signed a five-year contract until June 2026.

Reported by Antara via AFP, Thursday, June 24, Fiorentina had to spend 23 million euros (about Rp396 billion) plus bonuses to bring in players who had hampered his season in Stuttgart due to the muscle injury.

Gonzalez only played once between February and May, having scored six goals in 15 games at the start of the season.

The 14 goals he scored in the previous season have helped Stuttgart return to the Bundesliga. In total, he scored 23 goals in 79 games for Stuttgart.

Meanwhile, Fiorentina are also looking for a new coach after former Napoli manager Gennaro Gattuso decided to leave three weeks after being appointed following a dispute over the club's strategy and resources to recruit new players.
