Pedro Porro set for permanent Manchester City exit as Sporting trigger clause

Pedro Porro is reportedly set to leave Manchester City after Sporting Lisbon triggered the release clause for the 22-year-old.

The Spanish international joined the Citizens in 2019, but in the three years since his arrival, he has not made a single appearance for the club.

After spending a season with Real Valladolid, Porro joined Sporting on a two-year loan deal in 2020, which included an option to buy.

Following an impressive spell with the Portuguese giants, which has included a league title and a Portuguese League Cup win, Sporting are reportedly set to buy the 22-year-old.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Sporting have triggered the €45m (£38.6m) release clause for the right-back, with the player expected to sign a three-year deal.

Despite losing Porro, City will reportedly have the option to buy the defender back for €20m (£17.1m).

Porro has made 33 appearances for Sporting this season, chipping in with four goals in that period.
