http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 and will play for the Portuguese club on loan, with an option to buy at the end of the season.
The Portistas have been scouring the transfer market for top quality central-midfielders with the exit of Fredy Guarin to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Belluschi-c13628’s loan to Genoa.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitor-c36281 Pereira’s men are already five points behind league leaders Benfica in the title race and they are keen to bolster their squad, in order to keep the pressure on the Lisbon giants.
Porto have been unable to fully delve into the market due to their financial woes and although they made a bid for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santos-c40446 star Ganso, the Brazilian is unlikely to sign for the Estadio do Dragao outfit.
As a result, the Dragons have agreed to sign former skipper Lucho Gonzalez on loan. The midfielder parted ways with the Portuguese champions after a hugely successful spell and left the helm in search of greener pastures in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899.
At Marseille, he was an integral part of the team but has fallen down the pecking order this campaign. Didier Deschamps was keen to let the player leave and the 31-year-old expressed interest in making a return to Portugal.
Porto were contacted by their French counterparts and convinced them to agree to the proposed switch. Gonzalez has since then arrived and is now reportedly close to making the deal official by signing the contract, which will see him ply his trade at the club till the end of the season.
However if the Dragao are impressed by his form, they will have the option of signing him on a permanent deal in the summer.
His arrival was met by great applause by the fans and many went to the Airport to welcome him back. Gonzalez’s experience could come in very handy for Porto, as he is well versed in his art and should give a much needed boost in the centre of the park.
The Sky Blue International already has fearsome legacy at the club and if he helps the side conquer http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 once again, his reputation will become legendry.
