Jorge Mendes, the super-agent, has reportedly offered Manchester City a double-signing of a Portuguese couple this summer, including one Premier League player.

Managers at the Etihad Stadium are expected to be active during the forthcoming transfer window, as Pep Guardiola seeks to bolster his first-team squad ahead of what may be the Catalan’s final season in charge.

Guardiola will enter his final year of contract at the Etihad following the completion of the current season, and while there is a sense of calm, Manchester City executives will almost definitely seek to extend their agreement with the renowned coach.

As Txiki Begiristain and his transfer colleagues at the City Football Academy offices prepare for the forthcoming market, their task may have been made significantly easier by an approach made by one of the game’s most renowned player representatives.

According to Manchester City insider ‘Tolmie’s Hairdoo’ reported on X, super-agent Jorge Mendes has proposed a double deal to Wolves’ Pedro Neto and Benfica player João Neves this summer.

It is stated that the whole cost of the latter would be offset by enabling his other client, Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva, to finally depart the Etihad Stadium after a series of transfer markets failed to provide a satisfactory offer at the negotiation table.

Interestingly, Joao Neves’ current employers, Benfica, are ‘open’ to the possibility of Bernardo Silva being added as a £50 million makeweight in any pursuit of the 19-year-old emerging star.

Manchester City supporters have noticed a constant increase in transfer rumors connecting the club and Pedro Neto since the turn of the year, and the club’s familiarity with Wolves officials may work in their favor as they compete with Premier League rivals.

Txiki Begiristain and his Etihad Stadium colleagues worked quickly alongside their Wolverhampton counterparts during the latter stages of the previous summer transfer window, signing Matheus Nunes from Molineux on Deadline Day.
