Newcastle United defender Chancel Mbemba should be sold to FC Porto in the ‘next few days’, according to reports from Portugal today.
Newspaper Record claims that the move is ‘imminent’, as the clubs are now very close to reaching an agreement for the 23-year-old.
The outlet states Porto have been pressuring to get the player for less than the original price, and the Magpies are finally bending in the negotiations.
It’s claimed ‘there’s no doubt’ now that the deal ‘should be done in short term’. Mbemba found a personal agreement with Porto some time ago, and Record praises the player for keeping his word for all this time.
Porto manager Sérgio Conceição is a bit desperate for a central defender, and that’s why three other newspapers, Correio da Manhã, Diário de Notícias and O Jogo, all have stories about his urge today.
But this report from Record is here to make everything calm, because Mbemba isn’t the only defender arriving at Porto, as the club are also completing the signing of Éder Militão from São Paulo.
