Porto may have to invest more than €20m to secure two reinforcements destined for midfield. The signings of Alan Varela and Nico González are well underway but are subject to the latest demands from Boca Juniors and Barcelona respectively.
As for Alan Varela, the Dragons have reached an agreement for a purchase totaling around 12 million euros, between the initial amount and easily achievable targets.
Even the player did not enter the field early on Friday morning in the Argentine Cup match. But Boca leaders have increased the required percentage of value-added future sales from 20% to 30%.
As for Nico Gonzalez, Porto has signed a loan with an option to buy. But Barcelona wants this acquisition to be mandatory even this season. This income, which, according to the Catalan press, is about 10 million euros, would be important for the blue garnets in view of the financial difficulties they are experiencing.
