Newcastle land Gonzalez from Manchester City
Newcastle United have signed Spanish midfielder Nico Gonzalez from Manchester City on a long-term contract, the Premier League clubs said on Wednesday.
Financial details were not disclosed, but British media reported the deal to be worth around 52 million pounds ($70.65 million).
The 24-year-old Barcelona academy product leaves City after making 59 appearances and scoring four goals for the club following his move from Porto last year.
“I’m really happy to be here at this amazing club. I’ve only heard top words about the club and the city, so I’m really excited to live here and to be part of this project,” Gonzalez said in a club statement.
“I’ve experienced playing at St James’ Park twice with Manchester City and it was really tough. The atmosphere was amazing and the fans are so passionate. I can’t wait to experience that as a home player.”
Gonzalez had previously said he wanted to remain at City but departs after the club strengthened their midfield options during the transfer window.
City have completed a deal for Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi and also signed Elliot Anderson, increasing competition for places in midfield.
Gonzalez is the latest midfielder to leave the club this summer after Bernardo Silva, Rodri and Tijjani Reijnders.
He adds experience to a Newcastle midfield that has undergone major changes, with Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali among the high-profile departures.
“I’m very happy to see Nico become a Newcastle United player. He brings serious quality and elite experience in a key area of the pitch,” Newcastle head coach Matthias Jaissle said.
Gonzalez, who will wear the number six shirt, was introduced to supporters at St James’ Park before Newcastle’s League Cup match against West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday.
The move is Newcastle’s seventh senior signing of the summer.

Chamtar Dumping Ground suffers from poor planning, neglect in Mardan
Mardan – The Chamtar dumping ground has suffered from poor planning and neglect by the district and local administration for more than three decades, while a new dumping ground project worth billions of rupees is also facing questions amid opposition and protests from the local population.
According to official records, 228 kanals of land was acquired in Chamtar village in 1993 for the dumping ground. Millions of rupees were spent on land preparation and the construction of trenches for waste disposal. However, despite the passage of three decades, the site could not be converted into an effective and permanent waste disposal facility.
Meanwhile, about Rs8 billion have been allocated for the new dumping ground project under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Cities Improvement Project (KPCIP). However, concerns have emerged over the completion of the project due to opposition and protests by the local population. According to sources, legal proceedings are also underway regarding the project, while concerns have been raised that any delay could affect or even lead to the withdrawal of financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
Residents of the area have expressed reservations about the project and demanded that the government and district administration take the local population into confidence, address their concerns and resolve all legal issues through negotiations.
Mardan city is already facing a serious garbage disposal problem, while poor sanitation and cleanliness in the city and surrounding areas are causing difficulties for citizens.
Public representatives have demanded that political leaders, the Deputy Commissioner Mardan and the DPO Mardan bring all concerned parties to the negotiating table and find a workable solution so that the project, worth billions of rupees, does not become a victim of disputes and delays.
