Manchester City Benchwarmer Eyes Exit from the Etihad

Manchester City midfielder Nico Gonzalez could be on his way out of the club during the summer transfer window, according to "The Times." His dissatisfaction stems from a lack of sufficient playing time.

The Spanish midfielder joined Manchester City from Porto in February 2025 for a fee of 60 million euros. During the 2025/26 Premier League season, he featured in 25 matches, but started only twice in the final 17 games of the campaign.

Reports indicate that Gonzalez is frustrated with his bench role and is considering a move. Clubs from Spain and Italy have already expressed interest in his services.

Nico Gonzalez's intentions have also been influenced by reports suggesting Manchester City will make an offer for Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez.
