The transfer of Nico González is worth 55 million euros, a sum that can increase to almost 60 million euros due to bonuses. This move comes after González played only twice in the Premier League since the year change and sat on the bench for 90 minutes against Bournemouth. Voetbalzone reports that González's contract at Manchester City still had two seasons to run.
González has expressed gratitude towards Manchester City, stating that it was an honour to play for the club and that he will always be thankful for his time there. He will now join Sean Steur at Newcastle United, who are looking to strengthen their midfield after the departures of Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimarães.
