Newcastle United and Manchester City have reportedly reached a verbal agreement for the transfer of Nico Gonzalez. The midfielder is set to move to St. James' Park in a deal worth £47 million, with an additional £3 million in add-ons. Gonzalez himself has given his consent, having been convinced he will play a pivotal role in Newcastle's ambitious new project.
The Spanish international is the latest midfielder to depart Manchester City this summer, following Bernardo Silva, Rodri, and Tijjani Reijnders. However, City has already bolstered their squad, signing Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for £116 million and, just yesterday, securing Ayub Bouadi from Lille for £85.6 million. The Citizens are also expected to table an offer for Enzo Fernandez by the end of the week, with Chelsea reportedly demanding £120 million for the player.
Newcastle, meanwhile, views Nico Gonzalez as the ideal successor to Bruno Guimarães.
Manchester City originally acquired the Spaniard from Porto in February 2015 for £50 million. He made a total of 59 appearances across all competitions for the Citizens, scoring four goals.
