Brazil international Ganso could be on his way out of Santos in the near future as Portuguese champions Porto have shown an interest in signing the attacking midfielder, IG reports.
Porto are looking to add a creative midfielder to their squad as they aim to make an impact in the Champions League this term after winning the Europa League last season, and they allegedly see Ganso as the perfect signing.
The 21-year-old midfielder has a contract with Santos until February 2015, but club president Luis Alvaro Ribeiro recently declared that the club will not stop Ganso from making a switch to Europe.
"He has already told me he wants to stay at Santos to play in the Club World Cup at the end of the year. But if he wants to leave Santos, we will not have any objections to that. We have to respect the player's wish. He has his dreams, his ambitions," Ribeiro said to Lancenet.
It's unlikely that Ganso will opt to leave Santos this summer as he's eager to take part in the Club World Cup in December, but the playmaker could very well decide to move to Europe in the January transfer window.
Ganso has also been linked with clubs such as Anzhi Makhachkala and AC Milan, but the presence of compatriot Hulk and former team-mates such as Danilo and Alex Sandro could push him towards the Portuguese champions.
