This Tuesday, website Goal claimed that Portuguese champions Porto would be interested in signing Douglas Luiz from Manchester City on a loan deal.
The website claimed that the Dragons had joined the battle for the midfielder, who’s also been offered to league rivals Benfica last week.
However, local newspaper O Jogo disagrees with that info. In a story today, they claim that Porto aren’t that keen on signing the 20-year-old.
The outlet confirms that Douglas has been offered to the Dragons twice, as one of them was after this Benfica rumour came out. However, the Northern side are not that convinced that he should be signed.
The club would like a player with other characteristics for this position, and therefore are expected to rule out the move.
Douglas Luiz was signed by Manchester City on a move from Brazilian side Vasco da Gama in 2017. He spent the first season on loan at Girona, and despite the Premier League side’s wish to keep him this season, the FA did not concede him a work permit.
Now it seems that his agents are working hard to find a new club for him to spend a year at.
