Gonzalez Is Now A Cityzen

Manchester City have completed the signing of Nico Gonzalez from Porto.
The 23-year-old midfielder has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal through to June 2029 with City, who agreed a deal with Porto that will total €60million.
According reports, City were attempting to complete a deadline day move for the Spaniard, who is capable of playing in both the No. 6 and No. 8 positions and fits the profile of a midfielder that City are looking for.

"This is the perfect opportunity for me at this stage of my career,” Gonzalez said upon signing for City. “I am 23 and I want to test myself in England. There’s no better club than Manchester City for me to do that.
“Look at the squad they have here… it’s unbelievable, full of world-class players. There isn’t a footballer in the world who would not want to be part of this setup. I know the reputation Pep has and I cannot wait.”
City had been weighing up a move for a midfielder during the winter window, with Pep Guardiola’s squad short on options following the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury sustained by Rodri in September.
Juventus’s Douglas Luiz was one of multiple options being considered before Gonzalez emerged as City’s primary target.
Gonzalez is a product of Barcelona’s La Masia youth system and made 37 first-team appearances for the Catalan club before spending 2022-23 on loan at Valencia. He then joined Porto in the summer of 2023.
Barca have a 40 per cent sell-on clause as part of the €8.5million deal that saw him sold to Porto.
The midfielder has made 29 appearances in all competitions this season, providing seven goals and six assists.He is yet to make his senior international level but has been capped up to under-21 level by Spain.
City have had a busy January window, signing centre-backs Vitor Reis, Juma Bah and Abdukodir Khusanov from Palmeiras, Real Valladolid and and Lens respectively, while also adding forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt.
