Manchester City are reportedly ready to rival Manchester United in the chase for Sporting CP star Bruno Fernandes.
According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola (h/t Lucas Sposito of Sport Witness), the Premier League champions will lodge a €50 million (£43 million) "formal offer" for the midfielder on Tuesday.
Sporting's sporting director Hugo Viana is said to be flying to Manchester for talks regarding a possible move to City.
It's added that Pep Guardiola's team want to agree a deal with Sporting for Fernandes quickly so they can avoid "enormous competition" for him.
