Liverpool Targets Nico Gonzalez for €24 Million Transfer
Liverpool is considering activating Nico Gonzalez's €60 million release clause from Porto, with €24 million potentially benefiting Barcelona.
Liverpool is reportedly preparing to pay the €60 million release clause for Nico Gonzalez, Porto's 22-year-old midfield sensation. As part of the deal, €24 million will go to Barcelona, who sold Nico in 2023 but retained a future sale clause.
Nico Gonzalez, a former Spain U21 international, has been a standout performer in the Primeira Liga this season, scoring five goals and providing five assists in 24 matches. Liverpool turned their attention to Gonzalez after failing to secure Martin Zubimendi and see him as a dynamic box-to-box midfielder.
Barcelona retains an option to repurchase the player for €30 million until June 2025 but may forego this to benefit from the substantial transfer fee. For financially-strapped Barcelona, the €24 million cut from Liverpool's potential purchase could be critical.
Liverpool scouts have frequently visited Porto matches this season, initially rumored to be monitoring Alan Varela, but ultimately focused on Nico Gonzalez. His versatility and energetic style make him an ideal fit for Liverpool's midfield requirements.
