Good news for Vitor Bruno. Francisco Conceicao has recovered and played in Porto’s pre-season match against Petro de Luanda on Tuesday (1-1). Pepe, who has not yet started an official game this season, scored.
The Brazilian was not a candidate to take over as Porto coach, but showed he could fight for a starting place in a test at Olival against the Angolans on Tuesday. However, Pepe’s future may not lie with Porto after the transfer market closed. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have already shown interest in the 27-year-old Brazilian.
Francisco Conceição is still open to leaving Porto. However, if there is no offer that satisfies SAD, led by André Villas-Boas, the player should stay in Dragao. On Tuesday, he showed that he has recovered from the physical problems that have been bothering him since his return from vacation. The 21-year-old winger could be an option in the next games, if Vitor Bruno so decides. FC Porto have set a minimum sale price of 25 million euros (after deducting operating costs).
Luis Suarez came in to strengthen the attack
In recent days, Porto have been considering signing Colombian Luis Suarez (Almeria). The 26-year-old is technically considered to have the ideal characteristics to replace Evanilson, who was sold to Bournemouth. It is a difficult deal, as the Spanish side are asking 20 million for the player. On Tuesday, the name of Sweden’s Deniz Gul (Hammarby) also appeared on Porto fans’ radars.
