Coventry City's pursuit of Porto left-back Francisco Moura is heating up, but the Sky Blues may face a tough battle to secure the 26-year-old's services.
What's the latest on Francisco Moura?
Coventry City's interest in Porto left-back Francisco Moura is unlikely to go uncontested, with fresh reports from Portugal claiming the defender is attracting attention from across Europe's biggest leagues.
Why is Francisco Moura in demand?
The 26-year-old has already attracted enquiries from clubs in four of Europe's 'Big Five' leagues – England, Spain, Italy, and Germany. According to A Bola, Moura has impressed with his performances, putting him firmly on the radar across several markets.
What's the situation with Porto?
Porto, however, are giving priority to a permanent transfer and have no intention of letting the defender leave for anything they consider below his value. The Portuguese side are willing to sanction Moura's departure if the right offer arrives, particularly as the club reshape their options on the left side of defence.
What's next for Coventry City?
The Sky Blues may not have a free run at the defender, with interest now said to be coming from England, Spain, Italy, and Germany. Any club hoping to sign Moura this summer may have to move decisively and meet the Portuguese side's valuation.
