“No longer a secret”- Agent confirm Brentford interest, backs transfer decision to be done this window

Fiorentina were correct to reject Brentford’s bids for Nico Gonzalez this summer, as he could be worth much more in the future, according to his former agent Rafael Stancanelli, who has confirmed Brentford have made two offers to sign the forward. Gonzalez was linked with a move to the Bees at the end of the summer transfer window, with Thomas Frank’s side willing to pay as much as €40 million to secure his signature.

They’ve been left short up front this season due to Ivan Toney’s suspension, who won’t be able to play until January after being found guilty of breaking betting rules.
Brentford have responded admirably to his absence thus far, but with players like Bryan Mbuemo and Kevin Schade playing in a more central role to replace Toney’s absence, Gonzalez would have arrived to reinforce the wings.
Fiorentina refused Brentford’s bids, choosing to keep the player rather than weaken themselves towards the conclusion of the window in exchange for a large number of money.

According to his former agent, who feels the player’s worth would rise in the future, that was the correct move.

“It’s no longer a secret that Brentford had made two important offers, the last one worth €40m,” he stated.

“Commisso wanted to imprison him. It was the right decision for me; Nico does not yet have a precise price because we have yet to see his full potential.”
