http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rolando-c31583’s Agent hints on a move to Chelsea for Porto Stars – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
Rolando’s agent, Peppino Tirri, has revealed that Chelsea could bid for some of Porto players including his client.
"It's true that Villas-Boas could ask for some of his former players to join him at his new team [http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786]," he said.
After appointing Andre Villas-Boas as their new manager, the English giants have been linked with the brimming talent at Estadio do Dragao. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 is reportedly on the verge of re-joining his old coach in London with Chelsea. Amongst others who have
been tipped with a switch to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/João-Moutinho-c18654.
Hulk is undoubtedly the most expensive target in the list and his 36 goals only add to his glowing profile. But his whopping €100 million buyout clause makes him highly unlikely to end up with the Blues.
Rolando played for the youth teams of Campomaiorense and Belenenses, but he made his name by making way up the rankings at Estádio do Restelo before signing for Porto.
The Selecao International would jump at the opportunity of re-uniting with the manager who led the Portistas to glory in the UEFA Europa League, Portuguese Primeira Liga, Portuguese Cup and Portuguese Super Cup.
However, the 25-year-old is also rumoured to be on the radar of Italian giants Juventus and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603. But according to his agent, no club has approached him to acquire the services of his tough-tackling client.
"Nobody has called me and so there is nothing. Maybe the clubs are talking. Roma have not even called me," he said.
The Portuguese International formed a solid backline for the Dragons and was one of the main reasons that the club did not suffer a defeat in the league. Although he has a deal running until 2015 with Porto, he could prove to be a fruitful signing for the
‘New Special One’, and could form a potentially unbreakable defensive partnership with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895 at the English Premier League outfit.
With the average age of the squad at Stamford Bridge above thirty, a major re-vamp will be needed to return to winning ways. With the transfer window still open, one can expect Roman Abramovich to start a spending spree, reminiscence of the glory days under
Jose Mourinho.
