How Could Gonzalez Fit In?
The 25-year-old Argentine star is a versatile forward who can play anywhere across the frontline for his side. He is naturally a right-winger who can slot into a left-wing role and play as a no.9 if necessary, with his versatility being among his biggest strengths.

Gonzalez was unlucky to miss the 2022 Qatar World Cup due to injury – but enjoyed an impressive campaign with Fiorentina. He scored 14 goals and provided five assists in 42 appearances across all competitions, helping them to the final of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
The Argentine is an explosive attacker who has proven himself as a productive player over the last few seasons. He excels in winning aerial duels, scoring headers and dribbling with the ball. The 25-year-old is an efficient finisher who likes cutting inside from the wings, helping him keep defenders guessing.
How Much Are Brentford Ready to Pay Gonzalez?
Romano claims that Brentford have launched a new bid for the Argentina winger after having their previous offer rebuked by the Serie A club. He states that the new bid is in the range of £36.7 million. A completed deal for this fee would make Gonzalez their most expensive signing of all time, with the Bees current transfer record held by Nathan Collins’ £23 million move from Wolves.

Romano reports that Brentford have offered a “huge salary” to the 25-year-old to tempt him into joining them. Gonzalez has been described as “special” for his exciting playing style, but it remains to be seen if the Bees are able to secure this potential club record signing before the summer window closes.
