Man City sign Porto midfielder Gonzalez for £50m

Manchester City have signed Porto midfielder Nico Gonzalez for 60m euros (£50m).

Gonzalez is Manchester City's fifth signing of the winter transfer window and has penned a four-and-a-half-year contract.

The 23-year-old Spaniard began his senior career with Barcelona in 2009 and joined Porto in July 2023.

Gonzalez has scored nine goals and laid on nine assists in 68 appearances for Porto and won the Portuguese Cup last season.

"This is the perfect opportunity for me at this stage of my career," Gonzalez said.

"I am 23 and I want to test myself in England. There's no better club than Manchester City for me to do that.

"Look at the squad they have here… it's unbelievable, full of world-class players. There isn't a footballer in the world who would not want to be part of this set-up."
