Coventry City are on the lookout for a new left-back this summer and Porto's Francisco Moura is among the names being courted by Frank Lampard's side.
Journalist Gianluigi Longari The report adds that Coventry are eyeing the 26-year-old as he prepares for life in the Premier League.
Coventry City 'in sight'
There is likely to be a busy summer of business at Coventry City as they look to shape Lampard's squad into one that can remain in the Premier League next season.
Their current squad already has three left-backs, with Jay DeSilva, Miguel Angel Bru and Jake Bidwell currently competing for the position.
Da Silva is the current first-choice forward, having made 42 appearances in the Championship last season, covering 86% of available minutes.
But it appears Lampard and company want more competition for the role. Longari report that they are 'looking' for a left back. And according to their information, Porto's Francisco Moura is one of the 'most admired names'.
There is no sign of any move at this time. That's just one option they're considering this summer.
The defender made 32 appearances in all competitions for Porto this season, totaling over 2061 minutes. He has made a total of 74 appearances for the Portuguese side since joining in a €5m deal in September 2024.
Will he fit in?
He has also gained experience in Europe, playing regularly in the Europa League since 2021, when he was at Braga. Last season he made seven appearances in the competition with Porto.
He is seen as an offensive-minded left winger, offering pace, tactical versatility and a high amount of chance creation. All of which could make him an ideal fit not only for Coventry City under Lampard, but also for the Premier League in general.
TransferMarket currently values him at €9m, up from a high of €15m last summer. However, his current deal runs until 2029, meaning the Portuguese side can demand whatever they want. For now, it looks like he's just on Coventry's list, but he's a name worth keeping an eye on.
