Interesting transfer news are out and it has been reported that FC Barcelona are leading the race to sign Porto and Portugal international defender Bruno Alves.
Local Spanish newspapers have reported that Barcelona sports chief Txiki Begiristain has settled on Alves as their top defensive target this summer.
It is believed that Begiristain maintains a good relationship with Alves’ agent, Jorge Mendes, and also the player’s father, Washington.
It was also reported that a deal involving Brazilian defender Henrique, who spent last season on-loan at Bayer Leverkusen, could see Alves arrive at the Nou Camp during the close season for around £16 million.
