Porozo is a regular starter already in a top division, despite his age. The Ecuadorian has 18 starts in the league this season, but his disciplinary record may be a concern for the Manchester club.

The centre-back has nine yellow cards in 18 games, averaging a card every other match.

The Boavista has already represented his country, despite his lack of experience, which can only be a positive for Pep Guardiola when looking at signing the young prospect.

With their talent in defence as it stands, a loan move would probably be the best option, if he was to join the club.
