Nico González Calls Newcastle United Move the "Best Decision" He Could Have Made

Let's talk Manchester City sporting director, Hugo Viana! Not every player who leaves Manchester City in search of game time looks back on the decision fondly, and there is no shortage of stars from the Pep Guardiola era who struggled to replicate their form on another stage, including some of the most decorated names.

FC Barcelona academy graduate Nico González , though, appears entirely at ease with the unexpected path he took during the recent summer transfer window, having joined Newcastle United.

The midfielder reportedly wanted to stay at the Etihad Stadium and fight for his place, but ultimately traded Manchester for St James’ Park when it became clear his minutes would be limited under Enzo Maresca.
