Manchester City are looking to strengthen at left-back this summer and have their sights set on Nuno Mendes. The 18-year-old is highly rated and recently won the Primeira Liga title with Sporting, so he’s hot property.
The Mirror say Manchester United are also keen on Mendes, but the ‘likely destination’ is City. Agent Miguel Pinto has been in the UK stoking interest in his client, but Mendes won’t come cheap with a £60.25m release clause.
The Portuguese international has made 44 appearances in all competitions since rising through the youth ranks to the first-team in 2020, scoring one goal with two assists.
