The latest rumours are swirling around a potential move for Porto midfielder, Josimar Pérez, to Manchester City. Sources close to the club suggest that City scouts have been monitoring the 22-year-old for several weeks, impressed by his passing range, defensive work rate and aggressive tackling.

While no official bid has been made, reports indicate that City are willing to meet Porto's valuation of around £60 million. However, there are reports that Pérez himself is keen on the move, attracted by Pep Guardiola's tactical approach and the opportunity to play in a team consistently competing for major honours.

Guardiola is reportedly looking for a dynamic midfielder to add more steel to his team, and Pérez fits the bill perfectly. The deal remains under discussion, with Porto hoping to secure a significant fee for their promising young talent.
