Hugo Viana wants to bring Sporting favourite to Manchester City | OneFootball

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

Although the London side tried to extend the Spain international’s contract beyond 2028, negotiations did not go as hoped. With the transfer window opening, Tottenham have set an asking price for the move: €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 one league title, one Super Cup and two League Cups, and stood 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 got to play for the first team. As a result, he was sold to Sporting for around €9 million. At this moment, a return is a real possibility, driven by City sporting director Hugo Viana, who knows the player well.
