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

Despite the signings of Jan Bednarek and Dominik Prpic, FC Porto is still looking for another central defender and has Jakub Kiwior at the top of their list, but negotiations with Arsenal have proven to be complex, even with the Polish player’s desire to move to Portugal.

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

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

The team managed by Farioli was not the only one to speak with the leader of the Brasileirão. Valencia and Sevilla also sought to learn the details of a possible transfer, but received the same answer: no in the summer, although the situation could be different in the winter.

For now, the 29-year-old defender is focused on finishing the season on a high note for the club, at a time when he has been included in Ancelotti’s preliminary squad list for the national team.
