Nico González will return to Barcelona in the coming days to start pre-season training under the orders of Xavi Hernández. The young midfielder has left a positive impression at Mestalla and has aroused the interest of other LaLiga teams such as Real Betis, Real Sociedad and Villarreal.
Despite the difficult season that Valencia has experienced, Nico’s performance has convinced coach Baraja, who intends to extend his loan for another season. However, the player’s desire is to earn a place in the Barça squad, although this will not be an easy task.
The 3 LaLiga teams that are fighting over the signing of Nico
Although Sergio Busquets has ended his time as a blaugrana, Barcelona have signed Ilkay Gündogan and are looking for another defensive midfielder on the market. Faced with the high economic demands of players like Joshua Kimmich, Martín Zubimendi and Marcelo Brozovic, the Catalan club is looking for “low cost” alternatives, and that is where names like Oriol Romeu, Dani Parejo and even Nico Gonzalez.
However, it seems unlikely that the culés bet on the ex canterano, and everything indicates that they will seek to close another incorporation in this window of signings. But the market is unpredictable and could take unexpected turns, with Xavi Hernández having the last word on the matter.
As reported by the newspaper AS., several LaLiga teams are following in the footsteps of Nico González to strengthen themselves for the next season. In addition to the aforementioned Valencia, Real Sociedad, Betis and Villarreal enter the scene. It is important to note that Betis’s interest comes from his sports director, Ramon Planes, who knows the footballer from his previous stage at Barcelona.
But there are not only suitors in the Spanish league, Porto is also showing interest in Nico González. The runner-up in the Portuguese league, which finished just two points behind Benfica, seeks to strengthen itself this summer to regain the domestic throne and have a good performance in the Champions League.
Uncertainty about the future of Nico González continues to grow, with several teams from LaLiga and Portugal disputing his signing. The talented midfielder will need to carefully evaluate all options and make a decision that will allow him to continue his development and achieve his goals in professional football.
