Portuguese daily newspaper that FC Porto are readying summer bid for Olympiakos defender Kostas Manolas.
The Dragons are preparing for life without Eliaquim Mangala and they believe the Greek centre-back would be a very good replacement for the Frenchman.
Porto officials have yet to establish the first contact with the player s employers, but they are expected to step up their interest in the coming weeks.
It is believed that league rivals Benfica are also keen, while Inter Milan reportedly had a €5 million bid rejected for the 23-year-old.
Kostas Manolas made a name himself at AEK Athens, where he featured in 66 league matches before joining Olympiakos on a free transfer in the summer of 2012.
The talented footballer was in fine form last season, scoring 3 goals in 25 league outings, while netting two times in seven Champions League fixtures. He played full 90 minutes in Greece s opening World Cup game.
