Gonzalez in Man City plans for next season

Nico Gonzalez remains in Manchester City's plans for next season, despite reports linking the midfielder with a move away.

The 23-year-old joined from Porto for £50m in January as cover for the injured Rodri and played 16 times in all competitions last season.

But the Spaniard featured in just 61 minutes during the Club World Cup in the United States, which cast doubt about his future at Etihad Stadium.

Manager Pep Guardiola has openly spoken about the need to trim down his squad but, as it stands, it is understood Gonzalez is no more likely to leave City than any other player.

An exit, though, has not been fully ruled out as every player has their value. If a sufficient offer comes in, and Gonzalez says he wants to leave, then the situation could change.
