Nico González, who is currently part of Porto's squad, has drawn the attention of Manchester City as they aim to bolster their midfield for the latter half of the season. It has been reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano that the English club has already begun discussions with the Portuguese team to secure the player's transfer. Barcelona, who maintains control over González, holds a buy-back option set at 30 million euros and a 40% stake in any subsequent sale. The player's release clause stands at 60 million euros, which implies that Barcelona would receive 24 million euros if Porto remains firm in negotiations.
