Gonzalez, who previously played for Porto, fits the age profile targeted by head coach Matthias Jaissle for further development. The move follows Manchester City's acquisition of Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi for £85.6 million. Gonzalez will be the fourth senior midfielder to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer.
