"No, I never spoke to Pep Guardiola. I don't think he even knows they hired me! But they must be attentive to what I have been doing."
That was the eye-catching comment of Manchester City loanee Pedro Porro last summer, who could get that long-awaited chat with Guardiola when Sporting host the Blues in the Champions League this week.
Porro has been on loan at Sporting for the last 18 months, after signing for City in 2019 and previously spending time at Valladolid. In that time, Porro has been a key man for the Portuguese side, earning an international debut for Spain and reportedly attracting the attention of Real Madrid in the transfer market.
