Manchester City have made a formal late approach for FC Porto midfielder Nico González. But, the Premier League side does not want to trigger his release clause of €60 and will want to reduce his value.
Nico González graduated from La Masia and moved to FC Porto in the summer of 2023. Since then, the has improved his game and solidified himself as a valued member of the club, garnering attention from all over the world.
González is enjoying a fantastic season so far as he has already scored seven goals and delivered six assists in 29 matches. He averages 1.5 shots, 0.8 key passes, and 0.8 dribbles per game.
The midfielder playes a dynamic role in the midfield. He is renowned for his strategic passes and aerial presence. González is good with ball possession, makes good decisins, and has potent dribbling skills.
Manchester City have signed some remarkable talents in the winter window, but they don’t plan on stopping soon. In Rodri’s absence, their midfield is a bit weak and may need to be strengthened.
While González isn’t the perfect substitute for Rodri, his versatility and qualities can be useful. He brings various elements to Porto and can be a long-term investment for City.
Nico has one year and half left on his current contract with a release clause of €60 million. The Citizens do not want to trigger that price and will only take him if Porto can negotiate. If this happens, Porto might want to keep him as 40 percent of the price will be given to Barcelona.
