Cristian Portugués Manzanera (born 21 May 1992), commonly known as Portu, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Girona FC as an attacking midfielder.
Born in Murcia, Portu was a product of Valencia CF's youth system. He made his senior debut with the reserves at only 17, going on to spend several seasons with the side in Segunda División B as well as one in Tercera División; in January 2012, he was called up by first-team manager Unai Emery due to a string of injuries.
Portu played his official game with the Che's main squad on 27 February 2014, coming on as a late substitute for fellow youth graduate Federico Cartabia in a 0–0 home draw against FC Dynamo Kyiv for the campaign's UEFA Europa League. His maiden appearance in La Liga came three days later, as he started and was booked in a 0–1 away loss to Rayo Vallecano.
On 11 July 2014, it was announced that Valencia sold Portu to Segunda División club Albacete Balompié with a buy-back option. He scored his first professional goals on 18 October, netting a brace but in a 2–3 defeat at CD Mirandés.
On 21 June 2016, after Alba's relegation, Portu signed a three-year deal with Girona FC also in the second tier. He scored a career-best eight goals (also providing eight assists) in his first season, helping to a first-ever top flight promotion.
