Stoke City want to sign Bruno Martins-Indi on a permanent transfer.

According to a report in the Telegraph, Stoke City are confident of snapping up Bruno Martins-Indi in the summer transfer window.

The Porto man has spent this season on loan at Stoke from Porto, and has had a successful time at the BET365 Stadium.

Stoke now want to sign Martins-Indi on a permanent transfer, and are plotting making an offer.

Stoke are keen to continue to invest in their squad, as they look to keep on progressing as a club.

The Potters are set to fund some of their new signings by selling Gianelli Imbula.

Imbula was Stoke’s record signing last year, but has failed to impress recently and will be offloaded at a loss.
