Barcelona make Porto defender Bruno Alves priority target

Barcelona are chasing Porto defender Bruno Alves.

Sport says Barca sports chief Txiki Begiristain has settled on Alves as their top defensive target this summer.

Begiristain maintains a good relationship with Alves' agent, Jorge Mendes, and also the player's father, Washington.

A deal involving Brazilian defender Henrique, who spent last season on-loan at Bayer Leverkusen, could see Alves arrive at the Nou Camp during the close season for around £16 million.
