A high stakes game of transfer "poker" has evidently resulted in the hefty transfer fee, of which the striker's hometown developmental club of Argentinos Juniors in Buenos Aires will pocket 12 percent. Ostensibly, the Argentine international himself chose to move to the Serie despite interest from EPL clubs Tottenham and Brighton.
Gonzalez played a significant role in both Stuttgart's relegation campaign (2018/19) and their subsequent promotion season (2019/20). He's long since been considered expendable after the emergence of Sasa Kalajdzic.
