Aston Villa are chasing Porto defender Rolando.
Record says Villa have made contact with Porto about a price for the defender, who is expected to leave in January.
Rolando is off contract in June and understood to be available for €1.3 million ahead of the winter transfer window.
Villa could be forced into the market for a new centre-half with Ron Vlaar stalling over new contract talks.
West Bromwich Albion are also interested in Rolando.
