According to reports, Portuguese giants FC Porto are looking to secure the services of Colombian International, Teofilo Gutierrez. The striker has been on the radar of several European clubs and it looks like the Dragons are also keen on acquiring his services.
FC Porto have struggled to replicate their feats of last season. The club are primarily relying on Brazilian International, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436, for scoring and in his absence there is no real attacking outlet in the side.
Kleber and Walter have been decent enough in front of goal, but both have not shined on a consistent basis, something which is essential for playing at club like Portuguese outfit.
Hulk has also been linked with a plethora of top European clubs and despite what the player says, he will eventually seek greener pastures in order to further his career. To prepare for the departure of their star man, Porto have allegedly targeted Teofilo
Gutierrez.
Featuring for the Colombian National team, the 26-year-old has regularly drawn comparison with fellow country-man, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276, who uptil the summer was the leading light at Estadio do Dragao.
Gutierrez has also had a stint in Europe earlier, but it was not as fruitful as he had hoped it would be. The striker signed with Turkish club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-Club-c40301
in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841.
While he was unable to make his mark in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026, the talents of the forward are undoubted and it is expected that he will regain his scoring touch if given the chance to shine once again.
Although everything seems set for a move, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitor-c36281 Pereira claims that his side are not targeting the Coffee Growers International and that the reports are not true.
“That is just speculative news. I have no idea who is talking about this,” he said when questioned about the possibility of Porto acquiring the attacker.
Whilst the coach has ruled out a potential move, it is known tactic to prevent the media from further adding to the hype and FC Porto could well be monitoring the skilled front-man.
However to secure his services, the club will have to fend off interest from the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Naples, who are also keen to add the player to their ranks.
