Porto hopeful on a deal for Barcelona’s Miranda
Portuguese giant, FC Porto is hopeful in signing Barcelona defender Juan Miranda next season.
Diario Sport reports that Porto has therefore joined Real Betis and Schalke in the queue of clubs wanting the defender’s signature.
There is a likelihood that the left-back will stay in Gelsenkirchen, where he is currently on a season-long loan having settled into the squad. According to the paper, he would prefer staying in Germany and continue his progress rather than returning to the Camp Nou as a back-up plan.
