The race for Porto defender Rolando is stepping up amongst Premier League clubs.
Rolando expects to leave Porto in January and is confident the Portuguese giants won't prove difficult negotiators.
West Bromwich Albion were linked with the stopper last week and it's emerged Aston Villa have also registered their interest.
For Rolando's part, he still hopes to return to Inter Milan, where he spent last season on-loan.
"We are waiting and have confidence," agent Oscar Cardoso told Calciomercato.com over the prospect of moving during the winter market.
"This is all we can say."
