Chelsea scouts were among the long list of clubs representatives who attended to Porto’s Champions League match on Wednesday night, according to A Bola.
With a goal scored by the €60m rated striker André Silva, Porto were able to guarantee the three points. Good performances from Iker Casillas, Iván Marcano, Alex Telles and Danilo Pereira were vital for the win as well.
Earlier this year, the Portuguese press suggested that Chelsea were very close to signing the Porto winger Yacine Brahimi.
But the story, which never made much sense, was never confirmed and ended up being quickly forgotten. Brahimi didn’t come out of the bench last night.
The list of emissaries included officials from Atalanta, Aston Villa, Atlético Madrid, Osasuna, Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, Celta de Vigo, Eintracht Frankfurt, Eibar, Inter Milan, Juventus, Leicester, Manchester United, Monaco, Milan, Middlesbrough, Montpellier, Newcastle United, Sunderland, Sasuolo, Sevilla, Valencia, Villareal, West Bromwich Albion, West Ham and Wolfsburg.
