Manchester City have been heavily linked with a move for Nuno Mendes even though Pep Guardiola has three players who can realistically do a job at left-back in Oleksandr Zinchenko, Benjamin Mendy and Joao Cancelo, but Simon Stone of BBC Sport says the Sky Blues actually have ‘no interest’.
City were reportedly waiting until January to make a move for Sporting’s 19-year-old as they couldn’t afford to match his €50m (£42.8m) asking price, but Stone says there ‘has never been’ genuine interest from the camp, so it doesn’t appear Mendes will be on his way to the Etihad Stadium this summer or in Jan.
