Porto are ‘analysing a proposal’ from an unnamed club for the Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers-linked Jesus Corona, according to A Bola.

Everton and Wolves were among those credited with an interest in Corona earlier this summer.

But A Bola claimed that Porto would only sell the Mexican for a €30 million (around £27.3m) fee equal to the buyout clause in his contract.

The newspaper is now reporting however, that the offer – from a club described only as ‘large’ and ‘European’ – is ‘seductive’ to player.

And it is therefore possible that he could be sold for less than that amount.

Corona played on both flanks and at right full-back for Porto last season, scoring or assisting 25 goals in 51 games across all competitions.

And his efficiency in the latter position should appeal to both Everton and Wolves, who are reportedly keen to strengthen in that area.

Everton have seen Djibril Sidibe return to Monaco following his loan spell, while Wolves have sold Matt Docherty to Tottenham Hotspur.

Corona has two years left on his deal at the Estadio do Dragao.
