FC Porto is preparing to ‘offload’ another surplus player from Francesco Farioli’s squad, as part of the new season project led by André Villas-Boas. According to the Polish press this Wednesday, Romário Baró will travel to Poland this Thursday, where he will strengthen RKS Radomiak Radom.
In addition to the Portuguese U21 international, the club has other ongoing matters. Midfielder Marko Grujic also sees the exit door open, but through a permanent sale: Real Oviedo, recently promoted to La Liga, is said to have already started negotiations with the northern club to acquire the 29-year-old Serbian.
This, however, will not be the last change in midfield: Vasco Sousa is expected to be loaned out, preferably to a Primeira Liga team, where there are several interested parties, including Vitória SC. The 22-year-old midfielder is one of the prospects Villas-Boas intends to keep within the blue and white ranks.
The sale of Romário Baró is another step in the ‘clean-up’ taking place at the Olival Training Center, with several operations being confirmed in recent days involving departures from the Porto club.
Danny Namaso and Iván Jaime have moved on to other projects and could still bring millions into the Dragons’ coffers. Iván Jaime, who will now earn a substantially higher salary than he had at FC Porto, was loaned to CF Montreal for a loan fee of 250 thousand euros, with the Canadians having an obligation to buy for five million euros if the Spaniard plays at least 45 minutes in 60% of the matches. If the midfielder meets these requirements between February and May next year, the total value of the deal rises to 5.5 million euros, with the Canadians retaining 80% of his rights.
Danny Namaso moved to Ligue 1 to strengthen newly promoted Auxerre. The agreement includes a loan fee of 1 million euros and a purchase clause for 60% of the economic rights for 5 million euros – a mandatory option if Auxerre stays in the top division and if Namaso plays 60% of the minutes during that campaign. This amount could also increase by a variable sum of 700 thousand euros depending on the fulfillment of certain individual and collective objectives.
