Porto are interested in Barcelona midfielder Nico Gonzalez.

Nico spent last season on-loan at Valencia and could be on the move again for the new season.

With Barca signing Ilkay Gundogan from Manchester City, midfield places are again at a premium.

Sport says Porto are in contact with Nico's agent, Jorge Mendes, about a move to Portugal.

Porto see Nico as a replacement for Mateus Uribe, who has left for Al-Nassr in recent days.
