Newcastle United is in the market for midfield reinforcements after losing Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimarães, with Pierre-Emile Højbjerg initially considered the top candidate to join the club. However, the Danish midfielder declined the offer. VoetbalPrimeur reports that Newcastle sees González as a suitable alternative, citing his availability at Manchester City following a lack of playing time in the second half of last season.
González was transferred from FC Porto to Manchester City in winter 2025 for 60 million euros. His potential arrival at Newcastle would be a significant blow to Sean Steur, who joined the club this summer and has made a positive impression. The Magpies will be eager to see if they can secure a deal for the 24-year-old midfielder.
