FC Porto in race for Independiente del Valle's Juan Riquelme Angulo | OneFootball

FC Porto are monitoring Juan Riquelme Angulo, an 18-year-old forward from Independiente del Valle, in a case that could gather momentum in the next transfer window.

The Ecuadorian striker stands 1.93 metres tall and has been drawing attention for his physical profile and room for development, to the point of already being nicknamed the “Ecuadorian Haaland”. In addition to the Dragons, Barcelona, Manchester United, Benfica and Sporting are also following the young attacker.

This season, Angulo has scored two goals in his first 10 matches for Independiente del Valle’s senior team, numbers that help explain the growing interest surrounding the player. At the same time, he has been a regular presence in Ecuador’s youth national teams, with six caps at under-17 level.

FC Porto therefore remain attentive to one of the emerging names in South American football, in a race that promises strong competition from several European clubs. For now, the situation is one of observation and assessment, with the Porto club exploring the possibility of moving forward with the signing of the young forward.
