On 24 January 2020, González signed for FC St. Gallen in Swiss Super League,[8] accepting the league's minimum salary of €40,000 per half season.[9] He played only once, as a 68th-minute substitute for Angelo Campos in a 2–1 win at former team Servette on 21 May 2021, the last day of his second season.[10]

On 10 September 2021, González joined FK Ústí nad Labem on loan.[11] He played 14 games in the Czech National Football League, scoring once in his second game on 17 September to open a 2–0 home win over FK Varnsdorf. He was released by St. Gallen on 23 June 2022.[12]
