Wow, that’s quite a twist in the Eliaquim Mangala saga! Even though the deal between Manchester City and FC Porto is practically done — with a €40 million agreement and Mangala passing his medical — it seems his girlfriend might be throwing a wrench in the plans. According to Sport Mediaset, she could be vetoing the move, which is causing the player to hesitate or delay signing.
If this holds true, Manchester City might drop their pursuit of Mangala and instead turn their attention to Roma’s Mehdi Benatia for defensive reinforcement.
