Why Man City Targets £50M Nico Gonzalez as Rodri’s Successor?

City believes he can improve their midfield and preserve their season since the large midfield player does well in confined spaces. Manchester City has viewed the January transfer window as their final opportunity to acquire players, while many other teams have chosen to keep a low profile. Pep Guardiola has been spending £130 million ($156 million) on Vitor Reis, Abdukodir Khusanov, and Omar Marmoush in an attempt to save his team’s season after downplaying the winter window.

Despite spending more than any other club in Europe, City still had a midfield deficit, as evidenced by their 5-1 loss to Arsenal on Sunday. Since City believes Rodri, whose prolonged absence after knee surgery has been the primary reason for their dismal season, will rejoin Guardiola’s squad at the beginning of next season or earlier, they have had difficulty finding a suitable No. 6.

Why Man City Targets £50M Nico Gonzalez as Rodri's Successor?

Even if Rodri heals, City will need a backup, and their current players aren’t capable, as demonstrated by their terrible loss at the Emirates Stadium. For this reason, City made a bold and striking last-minute move on Monday at 11 p.m. to purchase Nico Gonzalez from Porto for £50 million ($62 million).

Gonzalez, who has played for three major teams and comes from a well-known football family, is set to face his greatest challenge: filling in for the current Ballon d’Or winner for a City side that is in dire straits.
