Manchester City Grab Nico Gonzalez In A Late Deadline-day Signing
English Premier League: In a late deadline day signing, struggling English Premier League champions Manchester City completed the signing of Portuguese star Nico Gonzalez from Porto, the 23-year-old joining the club on a four-and-a-half-year deal that keeps him tied until 2029.
A versatile midfielder, Gonzalez becomes City’s fourth signing in the January window, joining Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis, and Omar Marmoush as new additions to Pep Guardiola’s squad, the club informed in a statement on its official website.
Gonzalez’s footballing journey began in Barcelona’s famed La Masia Academy back in 2013. He subsequently progressed into the Barca first team, where he went on to make 37 appearances. A successful season-long loan spell at Valencia followed before Gonzalez then sealed a permanent move to Porto in 2023. He has played 68 times for the Portuguese side, scoring nine goals, including the winner in their 1-0 win at Maccabi Tel Aviv in the UEFA Europa League last Thursday evening.
