Manchester City are closing in on the signing of Porto midfielder Nico Gonzalez before Monday's transfer deadline with a view to boosting Pep Guardiola's faltering midfield. Gonzalez has a release clause in his contract understood to be worth $61.

Manchester City have secured the signing of midfielder Nico Gonzalez from Porto for a fee of €60 million (£49.9m/$62.1m). Gonzalez has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract and is City’s fourth signing of the window following the arrivals of Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis.

Barcelona missed out on over €7 million ($7.2m) as part of Nico Gonzalez's €60m ($62m) transfer to Manchester City after Porto exercised a clause before the move.

The Spanish midfielder’s transfer to Manchester City reshapes the future of Porto, Barcelona, and the Premier League champions. Who benefits the most from the deal?
