Finally, there is some good news for Newcastle United fans in this summer transfer. The Magpies have gotten a deal over the line, and quite swiftly for the most part. It has been clear for a long time that Newcastle United would need to strengthen their midfield options. Sandro Tonali joined Tottenham Hotspur in a £100 million move. That was followed by Bruno Guimaraes moving to defending Premier League champions Arsenal. One could argue that those were Newcastle United’s two best players. In return, the club signed 18-year-old Sean Steur from Ajax and 20-year-old Aladji Bamba from AS Monaco. Neither might be ready to be regular starters for Newcastle United. But fortunately, it looks like they have finally found someone who is. Newcastle United reach verbal agreement to sign Nico Gonzalez According to Fabrizio Romano, Newcastle United have reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City for Nico Gonzalez. The Italian journalist has given it his famous ‘here we go’ stamp of approval. The transfer fee will be £47 million plus another £3 million in add-ons. There is also a green light from the player after progress was made overnight. Perhaps most importantly, Gonzalez is ready to join the Newcastle United project. The Spanish midfielder is set to be a key player for the Magpies. Obviously, Newcastle fans will know the importance of players wanting to join. The Magpies have already been turned down so many times this summer. What does Nico Gonzalez add to this Newcastle team? Someone like Gonzalez is expected to add a lot to this Newcastle United midfield. The first thing will be his experience of already playing in the Premier League. And he played for a top club like Manchester City. So, he is used to dealing with the pressure that comes with being expected to win pretty much every game. Now, many might point to the fact that Gonzalez was never able to become a nailed-on starter for Man City. That does not mean that he won’t be able to deal with that role at Newcastle United, where the competition for places will be much less unforgiving. Newcastle United might not be ready to stop here either. Reports from France have also emerged claiming that they have submitted an offer for Matias Fernandez-Pardo of Lille.
