JAKARTA - Manchester City have finalized a deal with FC Porto for midfielder Nicolas Gonzalez on the last day of the winter transfer market, Monday, February 3, 2025, local time.
The Citizens initially did not want to fulfill the release clause in Gonzalez's contract before finally paying the transfer fee, which is believed to be around 60 million euros.
He signed a contract that is valid until 2029. Porto did not want to reduce their transfer value because some payments would be paid to Gonzalez's former club, Barcelona.
The Spaniard moved to Portugal from La Liga in 2023 and payments had to be made to Barcelona if Gonzalez moved which could reach 40 percent of the total transfer fee.
"This is the perfect opportunity for me at the current stage of my career. I am 23 years old and I want to test myself in England."
"No club is better than Manchester City for me to do that."
