Manchester City outcast Pedro Porro jokes Pep Guardiola 'doesn't know the club hired me'

Manchester City defender Pedro Porro has joked Pep Guardiola has no idea the club signed him and revealed he's never spoken to the manager.

The Premier League side paid £11million to sign the Spaniard from Girona in 2019 but immediately sent him out on loan to Real Vallodoid in order for him to gain first-team experience.

The 21-year-old, who signed a five-year deal with City, was then loaned out again for the 2020-2021 campaign, with Sporting Lisbon securing his signature.
