Porto has reported that it exercised the purchase option from FC Barcelona for 20% of the profits from the transfer of Nico Gonz\u00e1lez to City<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Nico Gonz\u00e1lez signs with Manchester City until 2029 in a multimillion transfer<\/strong>. Manchester City has finalized at the last moment of the winter transfer market the signing of Nico Gonz\u00e1lez, a 23-year-old Galician midfielder trained at La Mas\u00eda. The English club has paid the player’s release clause, valued at 60 million euros, to strengthen its midfield and mitigate the absence of Rodri.<\/p>

The last-minute signing that Guardiola requested<\/strong>. Pep, in search of solutions to improve City’s inconsistent first half of the season, had already added defenders Khusanov and Reyes, as well as forward Marmoush to his squad. However, the Catalan coach needed a midfielder and had to wait until the last moment of the market to finalize it.<\/p>

At midnight, the English club officially announced the signing of Nico Gonz\u00e1lez, who arrived at Porto in 2023 from FC Barcelona for 8.5 million euros<\/strong>. After establishing himself under the orders of S\u00e9rgio Concei\u00e7\u00e3o, the player did not play the last match of Porto against Rio Ave, in anticipation of his imminent transfer to City, where he signs a contract until 2029.<\/p>

No discounts: Zubizarreta resisted the pressure<\/strong><\/h3>

The negotiations were not easy. Porto’s sporting director, Andoni Zubizarreta<\/strong>, stood firm and rejected any attempt from City to obtain a reduction in the release clause. Ultimately, the English club had no choice but to pay the full 60 million demanded.<\/p>

10 million for Barcelona’s coffers<\/strong><\/p>

The transfer of Nico Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong> is good news for FC Barcelona<\/a><\/strong>, which retained 40% of a future sale when it sold him to Porto. Thanks to this clause, the Blaugrana club was to receive 20.64 million euros; however, a clause in the transfer agreement has substantially altered the financial outcome of the operation.<\/p>

Porto has officially stated that it exercised the clause that allowed it to repurchase 20% of Barcelona’s share in the sale. The Portuguese club activated this option by paying 3 million euros to Barcelona<\/strong>, significantly reducing the amount that the Catalan team will receive. In this new scenario, Barcelona will not earn the initially expected 24 million, but 9 million for the remaining percentage plus the 3 million from the repurchase, totaling 12 million euros<\/strong>.<\/p>

How much does Barcelona earn from Nico Gonz\u00e1lez?<\/h3>

  2. Intermediary fees: -6M \u20ac (10%)<\/li> \t

  6. Barcelona’s share: 20% = 9.25M \u20ac<\/li> \t
  7. Payment of the 20% repurchase clause: 3M \u20ac<\/li> <\/ol>

    \ud83d\udcca Final income for Bar\u00e7a: 12.25M \u20ac<\/strong>
    \ud83d\udcca Total income including initial transfer: 12.25 + 8.5 = 20.75M \u20ac<\/p>

    Porto has also reported that it has canceled the repurchase option that FC Barcelona<\/strong> had on the player for a value of 30 million euros (30M\u20ac), exercisable until June 30, 2025. Ultimately, the Spanish midfielder will have the responsibility of strengthening Manchester City’s midfield in the final stretch of the season. And in just ten days, the “citizens” will face Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>
