Real Madrid will miss out on Manchester City‘s Nico González to Newcastle United late in this window.
La Voz de Galicia cover Real Madrid and Newcastle United’s interest in the Manchester City player.
Why no Real Madrid threat for Newcastle United
The Premier League side want to sign another midfielder before the window closes next Tuesday.
Matthias Jaissle’s side have recently looked a few targets, including Bayern Munich’s João Palhinha. On August 14th, Sport Witness relayed news of the Magpies making a strong push by offering him a three-year contract.
Palhinha didn’t entertain their approach, forcing the Tyneside club to look at other options.
This is where Manchester City’s Nico González comes into the picture, and he’s also on Real Madrid’s and Como’s agenda.
The 24-year-old was born in A Coruña, Galicia. The local newspaper report on the La Liga winners’ desire to sign the player who is now close to moving to St James’ Park.
What’s pending for Newcastle United move
Real Madrid have dithered, and this gives the Magpies an easy route to secure the defensive midfielder’s services.
La Voz de Galicia state Nico González is now closing in on a move to the Tyneside club.
Newcastle United are offering the Manchester City player a five-year contract, and he can sign this after clearing the medical tests.
His medical and the English club making his signing official is now ‘pending’. This should take place soon.
González arrived at the Etihad from FC Porto in January 2025 and made 59 appearances for the Citizens. Last season, he played 2,582 minutes from 41 matches.
