Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays another update on the club’s reported interest in Sporting Lisbon left-back target Nuno Mendes.
The promising fullback has allegedly been on the City’s radar for some time, with the youngster also attracting interest from a host of European clubs.
Portuguese newspaper Record on Friday reported that City have ‘initiated exploratory contacts’ with Sporting Lisbon over the possible signing of Nuno Mendes.
The 18-year-old defender, who is under contract at the Jose Alvalade Stadium, protected by a release clause of €70m, is enjoying an excellent season with the Portuguese giants.
According to Calciomercato as relayed by Sport Witness, the Cityzens are in ‘pole position’ for the Sporting left-back despite interest from Juventus, Milan and Napoli, thanks to an extra factor, which is Pedro Porro.
The report claims swap deal involving on-loan defender Porro could be on the cards, even though there’s a buying clause which is very likely to be triggered by the Lions.
