Newcastle United and Manchester City have reached a verbal agreement for the transfer of Spanish midfielder Nico González, with a base fee of £47 million and up to £3 million in potential add-ons. The 24-year-old is leaving City after just 18 months at the Etihad, having joined from Porto in February 2025 for approximately £50 million. The deal represents Newcastle’s most significant midfield signing of the summer as the club scrambles to fill the gaps left by Bruno Guimarães’ £75 million sale to Arsenal and Sandro Tonali’s departure to Tottenham. New Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle reportedly personally convinced González to move, highlighting the player’s versatility as a key factor. A medical examination and formal completion of the deal are expected soon.
