Nico González, who has been very close to aBarcelonaexit, is about to finalise his move to Porto. The Dragons have been keen on securing the midfielder’s services, having set an agreement in place withBarcelonaa few days ago.
TheLa Masiagraduate was also ɾєρօɾτedly seen working out in a gym at the Hotel Vila Foz in Portugal ahead of the move, and according toMundo Deportivo, the Ԁєɑł is set to go thɾօυɢҺ in a matter of hours.
Aside from Nico’s own approval,Barcelonaand Porto were also working out the ins and outs regarding a repurchase option that the Catalans wished to include in the Ԁєɑł. All the final details now seem to have been ironed out.
The Portuguese side will ɾєρօɾτedly pay between€8-10 million for the player, which would hand another important bit of income to theBarcelonabooks, which are steadily getting back into shape, asvice president Rafa Yusteexplained earlier today.
It could shape up to be a very good move for Nico himself, who was in a state of limbo regarding his future for a while. There are doubtless signs of potential; with Porto, he could also get a regular taste of European football.
In fact, with Porto in pot two for the 2023/24 Champions League campaign, Nico could cross paths withBarcelonaimmediately in the coming season.
While the exact length of the contract is yet to be disclosed, a regular starting role for the Spanish prospect with the Dragons could hugely help his development, and if he impresses, he could be back in the mix atBarcelona.
Competition in midfield this season is fierce in Xavi’s side, and with fixing finances taking utmost priority, Nico’s move could єɴԀ up being highly-beneficial for all the parties in the short and long term.
