The international break was incredibly important for Sporting CP full-back Nuno Mendes, as the 18-year-old was given his first chance to feature for Portugal and made three appearances in a row.
Now having chances of playing the Euros for his country, the defender is highlighted today in a story from newspaper Record, who also point out how good this moment can be for the Lions.
The outlet explain the Lisbon side now expect Mendes’ market value to rise, as they eye the sale to clubs who have been interested in the teenager, such as Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola’s side are mentioned as the club who have the left-back ‘on their agenda’, even though he’s also watched by the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Real Madrid.
The teenager is currently protected by a release clause of €70m, which was renewed not long ago due to interest from abroad.
Manchester City’s interest in Mendes is also highlighted by newspaper O Jogo today.
Following the news from Italy saying the Premier League side are interested in Atalanta’s Robin Gosens, the outlet highlights that could be a threat for the signing of the Sporting player.
