Porto continue to target Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham.
According to the Daily Record, Porto are back in the hunt for Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham after watching him in action on Monday.
Ntcham, 23, has impressed in his two-year stint at Celtic, though he has endured a difficult 2019, with injuries and a dip in form hurting him.
Some now want the Frenchman to move on and new blood brought in, which seems highly likely as Celtic continue to be linked with other midfielders and Ntcham is touted away.
The Daily Record now report that Porto are ready to spark a bidding war with Marseille for Ntcham, and actually watched him in action for France Under-21’s against Belgium on Monday.
Ntcham only played 15 minutes of the game, but Porto have allegedly seen enough to mount a bid, with Celtic no doubt bracing themselves for interest in the Frenchman.
It’s added that Marseille also want Ntcham, and a return to France is believed to be his preferred move, though Porto are hoping the lure of Champions League football can win them the race.
Signed for £4.5millon by Brendan Rodgers in 2017 (BBC), Ntcham has played a key part in two domestic trebles, and the Bhoys will surely expect a considerable profit if they do sell to one of the two European giants interested in his signature.
