The Portistas are reportedly looking to entice former star Lucho Gonzalez to Estadio do Dragao on a temporary basis.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitor-c36281 Pereira’s men have struggled to impose themselves in the Primeira Liga and as well as Europe this season. After crashing out of the UEFA Champions League, the club find themselves behind Benfica in the title race.
Although the reigning champions boast a plethora of players at the helm, which can lead them to victory, Fredy Guarin is expected to leave http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 in search of greener pastures in Italy shortly.
The Colombian International established himself as creative force in the centre of the park last term and spearheaded the quadruple winning campaign. However with the arrival of a new manager, he has found game time limited and subsequently has chosen to
ply his trade elsewhere.
Juventus were rumoured to be his preferred destination but a switch to Turin broke down a couple of days. The interest from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan now lead the race to sign the 25-year-old.
The Nerazzurri are expected to complete the swoop in the near future but it has left http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 short of options in midfield. The Dragons are already struggling due to their financial woes and are seeking a relatively cheap acquisition by enticing Lucho Gonzalez
with a return to Liga Sagres.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 International left the Azure e Brancos in the summer of 2009 and although he made a great impact at Marseille during his initial years, he now finds himself on the fringes at Stade Vélodrome.
Les Phoceens’ director Jose Anigo has made an open invitation to his Portuguese counterparts and claimed that if Porto wanted to sign Gonzalez, all they had to do was ask.
"If you want Lucho, then call us.”
He also added that a return to the Primeira Liga could not be ruled out as the player himself was interested in the potential loan deal.
“He is tempted to return to Porto. Let us see, but anything is possible,” the official was quoted as saying.
Although Marseille are keen to sell the player, it is understood that they will agree to a temporary deal. Porto are currently suffering from their financial woes but they will allegedly use the transfer fee gained from Fredy Guarin’s sale to see the loan
go through.
Lucho Gonzalez will have to take a major pay-cut in order to play for his former employers, but it is believed that the player has agreed to this. However game time will not be guaranteed for the Argentine, as Porto already have four central midfielders
in Joao Moutinho, Steven Defour, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-c13609.
His reputation at the club is legendry but it remains to be seen if the Commander can replicate his performances that made him into the star he is today.
