Manchester City signed Porto midfielder González on its official website on the 4th (Korea time). The contract is four-and-a-half years and will be active in City until 2029. This marks Pep Guardiola's fourth signing in the transfer window, following Abdukodir Hussanov, Vitor Hayes and Omar Marmusch.
Born in 2002, midfielder González is a defensive midfielder who stands out in the midfield through solid physical, physical struggle, and technology. He also participates in attacks in counterattacks. González joined Barcelona's La Masia youth team in 2013. González, who has rarely settled down in Barcelona's first team since then, moved to Porto ahead of the 2023-2024 season after a loan. He scored nine goals and nine assists in 68 games for Porto.
It was an unconventional decision for Manchester City. Manchester City previously invested a huge amount of money during this winter's transfer market to strengthen their squad. He held Omar Marmusch, who bombed the Bundesliga, for 75 million euros (about 11 billion won) and paid 40 million euros (about 60 billion won) for recruiting Uzbek Kim Min-jae, who played a very active role as a member of Langs.

Guardiola's appeal was behind the sudden and huge investment. BR FOOTBALL IN BRITAIN 'News say Guardiola's personal appeal played a major role in the approval of the deal. Guardiola reportedly stressed to the club's leaders that they needed another player to play as a defensive midfielder regardless of Rodri's health.
Man City have been struggling with Rodri's absence this season. Rodri left the match against Arsenal in September last year due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. Global sports media ESPN said, "'Lodry will be out for the season due to ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)' Rodry said tests conducted this morning showed a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and is unlikely to be able to play the rest of the season', and immediately Rodry was confirmed to be out for the season and is unlikely to return this season. Guardiola has not rebounded easily since then due to performance problems, and eventually seems to have decided to reinforce the staff by bringing Gonzalez this winter.
González, meanwhile, "I thought it was the perfect opportunity in my career. Want to test me in England. There is no better team for this than Manchester City. I know how great Guardiola is. I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to work with him. It's a great honor that he wanted me."
