In accordance with a number of experiences, Manchester Metropolis have contacted FC Porto over a possible deal to signal Nico Gonzalez. Nonetheless, it appears the one solution to get a switch executed earlier than the winter switch window closes can be for the Premier League champions to set off the discharge clause within the midfielder’s contract, believed to be set at £50 million. As reported by the Telegraph, they aren’t ready to take action in the meanwhile and are hoping to scale back the worth by means of negotiations.
Metropolis have already strengthened their squad this month, including Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis to their defence and strengthening their attacking part with Omar Marmoush. However they’re but to signal a midfielder, a fairly urgent matter given the lengthy damage absence of Rodri and the dearth of type of the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva. Matheus Nunes has come nowhere near justifying the £55m spent on his providers in 2023 and he at present serves as an auxiliary right-back. Rodri’s absence is usually being coated by the joint efforts of Mateo Kovacic and Ilkay Gundogan, with fairly blended outcomes.
The necessity to reinforce the midfield part of Pep Guardiola’s squad seems fairly apparent, nevertheless it stays to be seen if it will get executed earlier than the window closes on Monday night.
