Agreement reached with the Catalans: he arrives on loan for one year and, afterwards, FC Porto will have to invest around 8 M€ to keep the pass, adding three more seasons to the contract
Only the official stamp is missing. Nico González will be an FC Porto player, as O JOGO progressed, in a deal that is closed with Barcelona, after a negotiation round between Pinto da Costa and Deco, the sporting director of the Catalans.

The midfielder should travel to Invicta shortly, after having given his yes to the terms of the contract presented by the dragons. Barça will be able to reacquire the player for an amount between 15 and 20 M€.
The 21-year-old midfielder will arrive at Dragão on loan for one season, but it has already been agreed that FC Porto will later buy the transfer for around eight million euros, if certain objectives are achieved. At that time, Nico will sign a definitive contract with the dragons for another three seasons, in addition to this one in which he will be transferred. In Spain, some media add that FC Porto may not keep the entire pass.
Between the main team and the B team of Barcelona and Valencia, where he was loaned on 22/23, Nico is already close to a hundred games as a professional, despite still being only 21 years old
On the other hand, Barcelona does not want to give up on a player who has no place in the current squad, but who has already been appointed as the natural successor of Busquets and, in that sense, insisted on including in the deal an option to buy back the economic rights that will range between 15 and 20 million euros. The deal values, it should be noted, have not yet been confirmed by the interested parties and may even vary depending on the “timing” of the eventual repurchase. That is, a certain price in one year and another, different one, if it is later.
Nico has not been a very productive midfielder: three goals and three assists is the balance he has
FC Porto will also have agreed with Nico the terms of the contract and the respective salary, with the expectation that the player will be able to travel to Invicta very soon, not least because the air connections with Barcelona are easy and frequent. Yesterday, Nico’s father, Fran González, played defense when faced with the midfielder’s immediate future. “The important thing is that my son is happy. He is still very young, I hope the decision to be taken is right, wherever he goes. You know more than me”, he shot, in statements to Rádio Renascença.
