Newcastle agrees £47M deal with Man City for Nico Gonzalez

Published 24 August 2026

Newcastle United has reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City for the transfer of midfielder Nico González, concluding weeks of negotiations. The deal, finalized on August 24, is for a base fee of £47 million, with up to £3 million in potential add-ons. A medical examination and formal completion of the contract are expected soon. The agreement represents a significant move in Newcastle's summer rebuild, prompted by the departures of two midfield mainstays. Bruno Guimarães was sold to Arsenal earlier in the window for £75 million, and Sandro Tonali left for Tottenham.
