Porto defender Bruno Alves is on the brink of moving to Barcelona. The Portugal international's father, Washington, revealed: "Barcelona will be an excellent club for Bruno. Now the important thing is that the two clubs can agree and if so, Bruno will be happy to go to Barcelona.

"I do not know how everything is, I only know what I read in the newspapers, which say that Barcelona is in contact with the representative of Bruno.

"My son is now focused on the Selecao, but I hope that this Thursday I can talk with him."
