Manchester City expect to sign Porto’s Nico González for about £50m | Manchester City
Manchester City expect to seal a deal to sign Porto’s Nico González, with the fee set to be the midfielder’s release clause of about £50m.
City are thought to have been reluctant to pay the clause but are poised to do so to add the former Barcelona player to their squad.
The 23-year-old would bolster Pep Guardiola’s options because he can operate as a defensive, central or attacking player. After Rodri’s season-ending knee injury, the manager is light in midfield.
He can call on Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes, the veterans Ilkay Gündogan and Kevin De Bruyne, and the utility player Rico Lewis, whom Guardiola has fielded in the position on occasion.

In January City signed the forward Omar Marmoush for €70m (£59.1m) plus €5m in add-ons from Eintracht Frankfurt and the defenders Vitor Reis, bought from Palmeiras for £29.6m, and Abdukodir Khusanov, signed for £33.8m from Lens, for a total of £122.5m.
Manchester City are reportedly in advanced talks to sign Porto’s promising midfielder Nico González for a fee of around £50 million. The 19-year-old Argentine has caught the eye of City’s scouts with his impressive performances in Portugal, and it is believed that a deal could be completed in the coming weeks.
González, who has been compared to City’s own midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne, is seen as a long-term investment for the Premier League champions. His technical ability, vision, and passing range make him an ideal fit for Pep Guardiola’s possession-based style of play.
If the transfer goes through as expected, González would join a star-studded City squad that already boasts the likes of De Bruyne, Phil Foden, and Bernardo Silva in midfield. The youngster would have the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business and continue his development under the guidance of Guardiola.
City fans will no doubt be excited at the prospect of adding yet another talented young player to their ranks, as the club looks to maintain their dominance in English and European football. Stay tuned for further updates on this potential transfer.
