Manchester City has set its sights on Nico González, the Spanish midfielder from Porto, as one of its top priorities to strengthen its squad. The team led by Pep Guardiola has already started formal contacts with the Portuguese club to understand the conditions of his signing. The need to add a midfielder has gained importance following Rodri's injury, and the former FC Barcelona player appears to be an ideal option to fill that void.

🚨🔵 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City made a formal approach to Porto to inquire about Nico González as a new midfielder.

Talks have begun, and Porto hopes to keep Nico and requests a significant transfer fee or won't let him go.

As revealed by Fabrizio Romano, negotiations have begun, although Porto is not willing to let the player leave easily unless a significant offer is received. His contract expires in 2028, and his release clause is set at 60 million euros, a figure that could condition the operation. However, a key factor in this negotiation is Barcelona's 40% sell-on clause, which could also prompt the Blaugranas to closely monitor the outcome of this deal.

Nico González, the new target of Manchester City

Nico, 23 years old, has shown notable performance this season, playing 29 matches, contributing with 7 goals and 6 assists, making him a midfielder with a strong presence in the game. His development in Portuguese football has caught the attention of several European teams, but it is Manchester City that has taken the lead in securing his services.

The arrival of the former La Masia player to the English team will depend on City's ability to reach an agreement with Porto, who aims to ensure a transfer that matches his value. With the transfer market on the horizon, Nico González's future could lie in the Premier League under Guardiola's guidance.
