João Afonso is close to joining FC Porto for €1.5m

João Afonso, Santa Clara’s 19-year-old goalkeeper, is close to becoming an FC Porto signing. The blue-and-white SAD is preparing an investment of €1.5 million, plus €500,000 in easily achievable add-ons, to secure 80% of the player’s rights.

According to the information gathered, everything stemmed from direct negotiations between André Villas-Boas, president of the Porto club, and Bruno Vicintin, head of Santa Clara’s SAD, with the agreement practically sealed in recent hours after the Azorean club rejected the Dragons’ initial offer.

As we reported in recent hours, Sporting tried to bring the goalkeeper to Alvalade, but the offer of less than €1 million was considered insufficient by the Miguelense club.
