Hugo Viana wants to bring Sporting fan favourite to Man City | OneFootball

Manchester City has opened talks to secure the signing of Pedro Porro. The English club has faced recurring problems in the position and, for that reason, wants to complete the deal before the start of the World Cup and has already informed both the player and Tottenham of its interest, according to AS.

Although the London side tried to extend the Spanish international’s contract beyond 2028, negotiations did not go as intended. With the transfer window opening, Tottenham has set an asking price for the transfer: €57 million. At Manchester City, it is Matheus Nunes, another former Sporting player, who has been playing at right-back.

Pedro Porro joined Tottenham in the January transfer window of the 2022/23 season from Sporting for a fee of €40 million. In Portugal, the player won a league title, a Super Cup and two League Cups, standing out for his quality. His development continued in England, where he established himself as a starter for the Spanish national team and is now preparing for his first World Cup.

The player previously belonged to Manchester City, but never made an appearance for the first team. As a result, he was sold to Sporting for around €9 million. At this point, a return is a real possibility, driven by City sporting director Hugo Viana, who knows the player well.
