Brazilian media claim FC Porto have enquired about Flamengo centre-back | OneFootball

Despite the signings of Jan Bednarek and Dominik Prpic, FC Porto continues to search for another central defender and has Jakub Kiwior at the top of the list, but negotiations with Arsenal have proven to be complex, even with the Polish player's desire to travel to Portugal.

For this reason, the dragons are exploring alternatives while trying to convince the English team, and according to Globo Esporte, they have contacted Léo Pereira, from Flamengo. However, they received a refusal, as the Brazilians are not available to negotiate at this stage of the season.

The only possibility for FC Porto to secure Léo Pereira would be to trigger his release clause, set at 60 million euros, a value that is obviously out of the question.

The team led by Farioli was not the only one to talk to the Brazilian league leader. Valencia and Sevilla also tried to find out the details of a potential transfer, but got the same response: not in the summer, although in the winter the situation may be different.

For now, the 29-year-old defender is focused on finishing the season on a high note with the club, at a time when he was included in Ancelotti's preliminary call-up list for the national team.
