Mendy hints on Twitter that City are set to complete the signing of 25y/o - originally posted on Sportslens.com
Manchester City are expected to announce the signing of Portugal international right-back Joao Cancelo any moment from now.
Brazilian defender Danilo has moved the other way, with Juventus also getting £26 million as part of the player-plus-cash exchange.
City fans are anxiously waiting for the club to make the move official, though, and French left-back Benjamin Mendy also seems to be also running out of patience with them.
The women team have snapped up South Korean forward Lee Geum-min from Gyeongju KHNP on a two-year deal, and the defender was quick to ask her if she had seen a Portuguese right-back in the corridors on her way in.
Mendy replied to Man. City’s official tweet welcoming the Asian striker thus:
welcome here ! (did you see a portuguese right back in the corridors ? 👀) https://t.co/gdkoTDTM9v

Cancelo could be announced today, and he is expected to help boost manager Pep Guardiola’s defensive ranks.
The 25-year-old will provide both competition and cover for 29-year-old Kyle Walker, and his ability to play further up in midfield and as a winger also comes as a huge boost for City.
Cancelo can also play at left-back, and he could also put pressure on the current three players the Etihad stadium outfit have available in the position.
