According to Corriere dello Sport, Manchester United and Manchester City are paying close attention to Sporting CP's 18-year-old midfielder Joao Simons.
It is reported that Manchester United and Manchester City are paying close attention to the youngster Simons of Sporting CP. The competition between the two sides may enter a fierce stage in the winter window, and Sporting CP hopes to keep him until next summer.
Joao Simons was born in Portimão. He is 1.78 meters tall and weighs 71 kilograms. He serves as a midfielder and is an organizational core. As a left-footed player, he does not have the physical fitness of a defensive midfielder, nor the flash of inspiration of an attacking midfielder, but his ability to interpret the game is extremely strong.
His advantage lies in his quick thinking. In the chaos of midfield, he always seems to have an extra second to make a decision. He always makes the right choices, knowing when to push forward, when to slow down, when to take risks, and when to take control of the game.
His technique is clean and concise, and he never shows off his skills. He greatly admires great playmakers such as Busquets, Modric and Kroos and regards them as role models.
Joao Simons is currently worth 6 million euros. He played 18 times for the Sporting CP first team last season, contributing 1 goal and 1 assist. His contract with Sporting CP expires in 2030, with a release fee of 80 million euros.
