Nico Gonzalez hoping he will be able to face Barcelona with Valencia

Nico Gonzalez is hoping he will be able to face Barcelona when Valencia take on his parent club next despite rumors there’s a “fear clause” in his contract.

Speculation has claimed Barca inserted the clauses in Nico and Ez Abde’s contracts which means their clubs will have to pay the Catalans more if either player features.

Nico says he understands Barca’s point of view but is hoping he will be able to take on Xavi’s side in La Liga.

“The fear clause? (laughs) Well, obviously I am very excited to play against Barça,” he said.
