Manchester City hopes to conclude a deal on the deadline of the Porto Niko Gonzalez midfielder.
It was understood that the talks were continuing between clubs on Monday due to the transportation fees.
Sky Sports News It was previously reported in the city, which lost 5-1 against Arsenal on Sunday, does not want to meet the condition of the release of the midfielder at a value of 50 million pounds.
Gonzalez was included in the Porto team to face Rio Avi Monday evening.
Man City has already spent 130 million pounds in this transfer window, as it brought Omar Marmoush, Abdokuder Joseanov and Vitor Reese.
City explores their options on the market for new 6 with the former Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Louise, one of the midfielders who were looking for him.
However, Gonzales can now be on his way to Al -Ittihad stadium where City is looking to continue the January spending.
The 23 -year -old joined the Barcelona Academy in 2013 and made 27 games for the club before joining Porto in a deal worth 8.5 million euros in 2023.
One element in negation is the fact that Barcelona will be 40 percent of any fees received by the midfielder Porto.
The Portuguese side also contains an additional 20 -time purchase option, which reduces the Parca cut to a possible transfer to 20 percent.
Ideal suitable for the city of Man?
European football expert Kevin Hachard on Sky Sports News:
“It is an absolute occasion, it can do a really good job for them. Pep Guardiola has admired it for some time.
“He has been linked to the move to the city since he was a young player, so he is a truly interesting character that has ripened in Porto. He has taken some steps forward and could be a really good player.”
Statman Dave Speak on Sky Sports News:
“It fits perfectly. He came through the Barcelona and long -standing academy.
“Yes, there is a lot of work that is related to it but you are considering getting another body in the defensive midfield- the city needs that now. We have seen how bad they defense against Arsenal. How many times have they been arrested three times- two?
“He is a player who can come, and football is playing Guardiola and developing. You look at the city window – two of the center, one of the best strikers in Europe at the age of Marmush and a defensive midfielder.”
“Difficult negotiations in the city’s pursuit of Gonzalez”
Sky SPORTS News’ BEN RANSOM At Man City’s Training Ground:
“It is the city of a player who really loves.
“The midfield was a problem for the city this season in the absence of the injured Rodri injury, so Gonzalez fits the bill. It is a player’s city that he has discovered widely.
“Gonzalez’s father, Fran, who was a player in Deportivo, worked at Academy and City, when Niko was 14 and 16 years old.
“He has now admired Porto in 18 months since his move from Barcelona.
“It is the transition from Barca that makes this step already difficult because negotiations revolve around the fees. The player has a requirement for a value of 50 million pounds, and Porto stands fully paid.
“This is partly due to Barcelona has a 40 percent sale item, so this is a large part of any possible fees.
“There is also a second element for this deal where Porto can buy half of these fees from Barca for 6 million euros. So, they can mainly reduce these expenses to 18 million euros if the city pays the condition of full version.
“However, the city plays Hardbal game. They don’t want to meet this evaluation as things continue.
“This deal is a little waiting and vision. One of the sources told me that if the city does not meet the issue of issuance, then the deal will be their transfer window.
“But this is the day of transfer on the deadline and we know the money talks. The two clubs are talking until there is still some movement.”
