On-loan Manchester City defender Pedro Porro could be returning to the club in 2022 despite reports suggesting that the youngster will sign for Sporting Lisbon for good.
According to O Jogo, the Portuguese giants don’t have the funds to currently make the transfer permanent. However, Sporting could sign Pedro Porro from City for good if they progress in the UEFA Champions League this week.

Indeed, this news presents an interesting twist of fate for Pedro Porro, who has flourished away from Manchester since joining Sporting on loan in 2020. With the likes of Real Madrid reportedly keen on the 22-year-old.
