Manchester City are reportedly not interested in signing Sporting CP playmaker Bruno Fernandes amid rumours they were closing in on his capture.
According to Simon Bajkowski of the Manchester Evening News, sources at City said the club do not want to sign him and denied contacting Sporting to discuss a transfer.
Goal's Sam Lee had reported City were in "advanced talks" to sign the 24-year-old and were set to offer "€50 million (£43 million), plus two players, either on loan or permanent deals" to secure his signature.
Lee apologised for the report:
Sam LeeI’d heard a couple of bits from Manchester that Bruno was a target, but it wasn’t enough to write.
