Manchester City's €60 million signing is worth €18 million, Gonzalez's details Barcelona lost €7 million

Manchester City's record this season is stretched, not only the Premier League title fell early, but also the fight for the top four also needs to work, the Champions League is a knockout play-off, to compete with Real Madrid for a place in the round of 16. In the face of such a predicament, Manchester City's winter window is to buy, buy, buy, and the amount of reinforcements in the winter window of the first team > the other 19 teams in the Premier League, which can only be said to be crazy enough. Let's talk about the details of Manchester City's €60 million signing of Spanish midfielder Nico Gonzalez, who is worth just €18 million.

• Transfer fee: up to €60 million.
• Contract length: 4 and a half years, until the end of June 2029.
• Transfer details: Porto spent 3 million euros to buy a 20% second-turn profit share from Barcelona in advance (in the summer window of 2023, Barcelona sold Nico Gonzalez to Porto for a transfer fee of 8.4 million euros, adding a 40% second-turn profit share), and Barcelona will only have a 20% share left. Porto also removed Barca's €30 million buyback clause, which can be activated until June 30, 2025.

This means that Manchester City signed Nico Gonzalez for 60 million euros in the winter window, and Barcelona only received a share of 10.32 million euros, which means that the transfer fee for Nico Gonzalez to leave Barcelona was finally set at 21.72 million euros.

Nico Gonzalez, a 1.88-metre-tall, right-footed player who can play in multiple positions in midfield, has made 29 appearances for Porto in all competitions so far this season, including 27 starts, and has played a total of 2,363 minutes, scoring seven goals and providing six assists. It is better for Manchester City to rush to the hospital than not to seek medical attention, and the arrival of Nico Gonzalez could boost the energy of Manchester City's midfield, and it is expected to form a new two-man midfield combination with Mateo Kovacic.
