Romano Confirms Agreement 'Almost Done' for Newcastle United to Sign Rival Midfielder
Newcastle are finalizing personal terms with the 24-year-old after Manchester City signaled approval, with Fabrizio Romano saying the club deal is at the final stages.
Newcastle United are nearing a deal to sign midfielder Nico Gonzalez from Manchester City, with negotiations reportedly in the 'final stages' between the two Premier League clubs.
The Magpies identified Gonzalez as a primary midfield target following the high-profile departures of Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali this summer, which removed significant experience from their squad.
A product of the Barcelona youth academy, the 24-year-old made 37 appearances for the La Liga club before playing 68 times for Porto, scoring nine goals and assists combined.
Transfer narrative expert Fabrizio Romano claimed there is 'big progress' in negotiations, though Newcastle must still finalize personal terms with Gonzalez's representatives early this week.
With midfielder Joelinton currently out injured, Newcastle continues to assess alternatives like Jacob Ramsey ahead of the September 1 transfer deadline.
Just under two years after its arrival, the Spanish midfielder of Manchester City Nico Gonzalez is expected to join Newcastle United against nearly 60 million euros.
