For surprise of some follower culé, the FC Barcelona has decided traspasar of definite way to Nico González to the FC Port wine. Like this it has confirmed it the Barcelona entity by means of an official communiqué in which it has detailed that the canterano becomes new footballer of the Portuguese club from this same summer, helping like this to the mass salarial of the Catalan team.

With a sale of --- million euros, the Barça can improve his mass salarial to inscribe new agreements and besides will allow that the mediocampista continue with his development, but without losing his 'control' on the Galician player. And it is that the operation by Nico has included a clause of repurchase by --- million euros, as it has aimed the journalist ----- .

As we already had aimed in FCBN, the Catalan entity did not want to renounce to the footballer of 21 years, although it has remained clear by second consecutive summer that Xavi Hernández does not consider him smart to add important minutes in his project. Already in the 2022, González left yielded to Valencia CF, where had an acceptable course, but without too much regularity because of a complicated muscular injury.

The arrival of the technician egarense did that the player found with the problem that the míster sees it more like a midfield player 'mixed' that like the anchor that supposed Sergio Busquets until the past month of May. By this main reason the Catalan trainer bet for recovering to Oriol Romeu from the Girona, the one who now will remain without a direct competition in the role of mediocentro defensive.

The Galician footballer and Xavi had a talk does some days and there could confirm the difficulty to have minutes in a centre of the field that seems with some 'overbooking' with the arrivals of the own Romeu and Ilkay Gündogan. Like this, González puts a pause in his stage like Barcelona player, knowing that it could return if has a very positive season in Portugal, but taking into account that it has to convince to Xavi himself or yes.

Now in the Port wine, Nico will be able to have a notable role with the technical Sérgio Conceiçao, especially thinking in the next Champions League, but being still a big talent of the Barça with seen to the future. Besides, it means an entry by sale that the Barça simply did not have in his accounts, improving also the possibility of fichar, for example, to a new right side.
