The Barcelona midfielder’s father says there are proposals from England, Spain and Portugal.
Identified by FC Porto as a target to strengthen the midfield, Nico Gonzalez sees Barcelona’s exit door open more and more. The Catalans were planning to sign Oriol Romeo from Girona, and if that wasn’t enough to shorten the player’s space for maneuver which the Dragons considered, Joan Laporta announced that Xavi Hernandez had asked to sign another midfielder.
Fran Gonzalez, the 21-year-old’s father, admitted there were several possibilities. “What I know is that Niko has proposals from England, Spain and Portugal. We’ll have to wait and see,” said Antena 1.
“I don’t know if it will happen, FC Porto is a great club and we are just grateful that they love Neko. But I don’t know what will happen. He is a bigger boy and with Jorge Mendes they will make a decision. He belongs to Barcelona and he has a contract, but the most important thing is that he He can play. That’s what’s important to him,” he added.
Fran Gonzalez stressed that, for now, his son remains focused on the present. “Right now, he’s training, and we’ll have to wait and see what Barcelona decides. He has three more years left on his contract, I know there’s a lot of talk about his future, but he’s in pre-season now. Wait. Now we have to see if Barcelona Will he be allowed to go or not?”
Nico Gonzalez was loaned to Valencia last season, where he played 26 matches and scored one goal.
