BBC: Newcastle United and Manchester City Reach Preliminary Agreement for Spanish Midfielder Nico Gonzalez Transfer
ScoreFast365 August 26 - According to recent reports from BBC, Newcastle United has reached a preliminary agreement with Manchester City for the transfer of Spanish midfielder Nico Gonzalez, with a total deal value potentially reaching £52 million.
Newcastle is in urgent need of reinforcements after losing Guimaraes, Tonali, Gordon, and Trippier. The 24-year-old Gonzalez fits the team's recruitment age criteria and still has room for growth. Although the player previously expressed a desire to stay at the Etihad, Manchester City has intensified competition in midfield this summer by signing Boadu for £85.6 million and Anderson for £116 million, prompting the club to agree to let him go.
It is reported that Gonzalez did not come off the bench in last weekend's Premier League opener, and he will become the fourth first-team midfielder to leave Manchester City this summer, following Bernardo Silva, Rodri, and Reinders.
