"Porto" defender Fernando could become a "Man City" player this week

"Porto" club's defender Fernando may become a member of the "Manchester City" team by the end of this week. The footballer's agent, Antonio Araujo, assures that the long-lasting negotiations will come to an end soon, and the Brazilian will fly to England to sign a contract with the "citizens". The 26-year-old defender was sought by Manuel Pellegrini's team in winter, but after the negotiations failed, Fernando signed a contract with "Porto". In January, "Man City" tried to acquire both Fernando and defender Eliaquim Mangala. It is said that the Brazilian's transfer to the team will cost £12 million. Fernando is expected to become the club's first purchase this summer. Additionally, the team may soon be supplemented by "Arsenal" defender Bacary Sagna, whose contract has not been renewed.
