Man Utd, Juventus blow as Sporting Lisbon increase release clause for Nuno Mendes
Posted Thursday, November 12, 2020 by Tribalfootball.com
Sporting Lisbon have reached an agreement with Nuno Mendes to increase his release clause.
The 18-year-old left-back has been a target for Manchester United, Liverpool, Juventus, Arsenal and AC Milan.
He recently signed a new five-year deal with Sporting, which included a €45m release clause.
But according to Portuguese newspaper Record, Sporting have now raised that amount to €70m.
The fee is a significant amount of money for a teenager with just 13 first-team appearances to his name.
United reportedly attempted to include Mendes in their deal for playmaker Bruno Fernandes.
