Reporter denies Man City interest in Nuno Mendes

Manchester City have no interest in signing Sporting Lisbon youngster Nuno Mendes this summer, claims BBC journalist Simon Stone on Twitter.

Mendes first joined Sporting’s academy back in 2012 at the age of just ten. He spent eight years in the youth teams before earning his first professional contract in 2020.

Last season, he became a key part of Ruben Amorim’s side that won the Liga NOS title.

The teenager made 29 league appearances, scoring and assisting once while keeping an astonishing 19 clean sheets.
