Manchester City literally approach FC Porto about midfielder Nico Gonzalez

The Premier League master Manchester City has followed a late formal approach of FC Porto for midfielder Nico Gonzalez, according to new reports.

Txiki Begiristain and his recruitment colleagues were active on the current January Transfer market and have already spent more than £ 120 million for three new players. The association remains very active in the last days of the window.

These ongoing search centers in the middle of the operation of PEP Guardiola and after the entire season arise in midfield, especially in view of the long -term violation of Rodri, it is a awareness that investments must be made in the position.

So far, Manchester City was not very lucky to bring a new central midfielder because he showed an interest in a short -term loan contract for Juventus’ Douglas Luiz and could admire in Atalanta’s Éderson.

But with just a few days on the market, it seems as if the persecution of a new name are being tightened in the central role, with Txiki Begiristain now taking over the search and conversation for Portuguese football.

According to exclusive information from the insider Fabrizio Romano transfer market, Manchester City has now underway a formal approach of FC Porto to the central midfielder, Nico González.

It is detailed that the Portuguese giants still hope to keep gonzalez and request an important transmission fee by Manchester City, or the player will not switch to the Etihad Stadium this month.

Interestingly, it is pointed out that the 23-year-old Spaniard is a publication clause in his postage contract worth 60 million euros and his former association, FC Barcelona players go to Portugal in 2023.

The additional reporting of Lyall Thomas from Sky Sports News has revealed that Manchester City is not ready to fulfill the player’s publication clause, and it remains to be seen whether postage is open to negotiations.

Gonzalez was only a year and a half of the Portuguese side after entering Porto from Barcelona in July 2023, and signed a five -year contract in the Primeira League for a reported fee of € 8.5 million.

If Manchester City manages to find an agreement with Porto, such a deal would be a significant profit for the club and make Gonzalez the latest player from Estadio do Dragao to represent the Etihad Stadium Club.

There were four connections that connected Manchester City with FC Porto after Nicolas Otamendi, Fernando Reges, Danilo and Eliaquim Mangala had represented the two clubs with different success in their Premier League career.
