Nico Gonzalez is a professional footballer who plays for Manchester City.
Things went drastically wrong for Manchester City in the 2024-25 season, with the club’s form falling off a cliff so much that they didn’t even challenge Liverpool for their Premier League crown.
The downfall began when Rodri suffered an ACL injury in just his fifth game of the campaign, ruling him out for the rest of it.
A gaping hole was left in Pep Guardiola’s midfield and City looked to fill it with the signing of Nico Gonzalez in January.
