Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays a report that claims the club is willing to sign Sporting Lisbon starlet Nuno Mendes, and then loan him back to the Portugese club for next season.

Mendes, who has been with Sporting from the age of 10, only made his senior first-team debut under a year ago and has already attracted scouts from elite clubs across the continent.

The 18-year-old Sporting Lisbon’s wonderkid is enjoying an excellent season with the Portuguese giants, with City reportedly considering a move for the left-back ahead of the summer transfer window.

According to Dean Jones of Eurosport, City are ‘very keen’ on Mendes as Pep Guardiola looks for a ‘long-term solution’ in this area of the pitch.

The report claim there is ‘potential’ for that sort of deal to happen, if City are indeed willing to meet Mendes’ apparent £59.5m release clause, that would see him remain at Sporting next season to continue his progress.
