Born in Portugal on the 24th of March 2005, Manuel Mendonça, at the tender age of 20, currently plies his trade as a central midfielder for Sporting CP. Mendonça is a rather sturdy figure in the heart of midfield, standing 5ft 6in tall (approximately 1.7m) and carrying a weight of 9st 12lb (or around 63kg). On the pitch, he proudly sports the number 88 jersey.
Around the subject of contracts, dear Manuel finds himself in quite the precipice; his binding agreement with Sporting CP is set to evaporate come the 30th of June, 2025, leaving him with just 1 month under the comforts of his current deal. The future, it seems, is poised to make a quick dash towards this promising Portuguese talent, ready or not.
