The Spanish press reported on Friday that Porto are targeting left-back Sergi Cardona (Las Palmas) in case a move for Juan Miranda (Betis de Sevilla) falls through.
Faced with the club’s financial difficulties and increasingly obvious harassment from Brazilian Wendell, Andre Villas-Boas is turning to players who are available on the market at zero cost. Juan Miranda has already suggested he will not renew his contract with Betis and Zubizarreta, the Dragons’ football leader, values the defender’s qualities highly. In fact, I already tried to sign him to Marseille.
Facing competition from other clubs, the Dragons are looking for an alternative to Miranda and this is where Sergi Cardona’s name comes up. The 25-year-old left-back is also out of contract and will also join on a free transfer. He made 36 appearances for Las Palmas this season, scoring one goal and providing two assists. He is a powerful and tall player. He is fast, technical and it is important for him to defend in the air as he is 1.86m tall.
