Porto confirm how much Barcelona really made from Nico Gonzalez to Man City deal

Manchester City clinched the signing of former Barcelona midfielder Nico Gonzalez from Porto on deadline day in a deal worth €60 million.

Barca did hold a 40% sell-on clause for Nico, meaning they were expecting to receive around €24m from the deal.

However, Porto have since announced there’s been a few changes to the deal which means Barcelona will get far less than expected.

“FC Porto also informs that it has exercised in advance the option to purchase from Football Club Barcelona (“FC Barcelona”) 20% of the capital gains on the transfer of the player, worth €3M (three million euros), retaining FC Barcelona’s right to only 20% of the capital gains on the transfer, also cancelling the buy-back option that FC Barcelona had on the player worth €30M (thirty million euros), exercisable until June 30, 2025.”

All of which means Barca will instead receive around €13m from the deal which has seen Nico sign a six-year contract with Pep Guardiola’s side.
