Benfica
In 2012, González joined Portuguese club Benfica along with colleague Cláudio Correa, from Primera División Paraguaya club Rubio Ñu.[3] During 2012, González featured for Benfica U19 the Segunda Liga.[4]
Loan to Guaraní
On 12 February 2013, González was loaned to Guaraní until December, to be close with his girlfriend and his newly born son.[5] On 24 May 2013, González was referenced in the Spanish newspaper Marca as a future star, following the steps of Ángel Di María, who moved from Benfica to Real Madrid.[6]
Loan to Olimpia Asunción
In January 2014, González was again loaned, this time to Olimpia, until June 2014.[7] Benfica later announced that González, together with Cláudio Correa, were sold to Master International FZC for €1.7 million.[8]

On 20 May 2014, González signed with Swiss club FC Basel a five-year contract until 30 June 2019, for an undisclosed fee.[9] He made his first team league debut on 19 July 2014 in the 2–1 away win against Aarau.[10] He scored his first goal for his new club on 31 August 2014 in the 3–1 home win against the Young Boys.[11] On 16 September 2014, González scored his first UEFA Champions League goal for Basel in a 5–1 group stage away defeat to Real Madrid.[12] He added another on 4 November, in a 4–0 win over Ludogorets Razgrad.[13] On 18 February 2015, he opened the scoring in a last 16 first leg at home against FC Porto, the game ended with a 1–1 draw.[14]
The season 2014–15 was a very successful one for González and for Basel. The club won the championship for the sixth time in a row that season[15] and in the 2014–15 Swiss Cup they reached the final. But for the third season in a row, they finished as runners-up, losing 0–3 to FC Sion in the final. Basel entered the Champions League in the group stage and reached the knockout phase as on 9 December 2014 they managed a 1–1 draw at Anfield against Liverpool.[16] But then Basel then lost to Porto in the Round of 16. Basel played a total of 65 matches (36 Swiss League fixtures, 6 Swiss Cup, 8 Champions League and 15 test matches). Under manager Paulo Sousa González totaled 47 appearances, 26 League, 2 Cup, 8 Champions League, as well 11 in test games. He scored 7 goals in these matches.[17]
Dynamo Kyiv
On 30 July 2015, González signed a five-year contract with the Ukrainian champions Dynamo Kyiv.[18] Upon his signing, he became the second most expensive Paraguayan player and the second Paraguayan to play in Ukraine after Pedro Benítez (at Shakhtar Donetsk from 2004 to 2005).[19] On 22 August 2015, González made his official debut for Dynamo in a 0-6 away win in the 1/16 stage of the Ukrainian Cup against a Ukrainian First League team FC Hirnyk-Sport, coming on as 45th-minute substitute.[20] On 4 October 2015, González scored his first goal for Dynamo on the 67th minute in a 0-4 away win against Vorskla Poltava in the Ukrainian Premier League.[21] In his first season he helped Dynamo reach the 1/8 of the UEFA Champions League for this first time in 16 years, getting knocked out by Manchester City 1-3 on aggregate.
International career

He debuted in the senior team in a friendly match against Costa Rica on 26 March 2014, replacing Pablo Velázquez after 58 minutes.[25] In November of the same year, he scored his first senior international goal with a penalty kick in a 2–1 defeat of Peru.[26]
On 28 May 2015, González was included in Paraguay's 23-man squad for the 2015 Copa América by coach Ramón Díaz.[27] He appeared as a half-time substitute in the team's opening fixture against Argentina, helping Paraguay recover from a two-goal deficit to draw 2–2 in La Serena.[28] On 27 June, after Thiago Silva's handball, González scored a penalty in the quarter-final against Brazil in Concepción to level the score at 1–1; in the resulting penalty shootout, he converted the winning kick to take Paraguay to the semi-final.[29]
During match day one of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONMEBOL) on 8 October 2015 González scored the winning goal in the 85 minute as Paraguay beat Venezuela 1–0.[30]
