Porto wanted Celtic star Ntcham in the summer and are said to be interested this month too.
Portuguese outlet O Jogo have reported that FC Porto have reignited their interest in Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham and want to land the Frenchman this month.
The report states that Ntcham, 22, was a target for Liga NOS leaders Porto in the summer and is desperate to leave the Hoops despite only joining the club 18 months ago on a permanent basis from Manchester City.
Now, Porto are looking to lure the France youth international to the Estadio do Dragao before the end of the January window, which slams shut in a little over two weeks.
The report claims both sides are at a different level of understanding, but that Porto are prepared to wait even until the summer to land the former Genoa loanee.
The Scottish Sun has since added that Porto could be willing to offer a whopping £14million for the ball-playing midfielder, as well as including defender Chancel Mbemba in a deal – after the Hoops were linked with Mbemba in the summer.
Ntcham signed a four-year deal back in November that will keep him with the club until the summer of 2022, but Porto are desperate to lure him away from Parkhead and such an offer might just do the trick.
Since joining the Hoops, Ntcham has clocked up 78 appearances in all competitions for Celtic – scoring 15 goals and creating seven more from the middle of the park.
