Father of Nico Gonzalez: He chose Barcelona over Real Madrid

The father of Nico Gonzalez insists he's fully committed to Barcelona.

The midfielder is being linked with a big money move away, with Manchester City among clubs keen. Fran Gonzalez, Nico's father, coached at City for several seasons.

Fran told ESPN: "It was easy for the kid to go to Barcelona.

"We could go to Real Madrid or Barcelona and he chose Barça. Well, he and his mother chose Barcelona!

"He had offers from everywhere, very important, a lot of money, but his dream was to play in Barcelona. It was a great sacrifice for his brothers, who did not want to go to Barcelona, but the dream came true this season."
