Chris Smalling is in talks with Porto after becoming a free agent, BongdaPlus reports, citing Portuguese media. The former Manchester United defender is being considered as an experienced addition to the club's defensive options.
Porto is looking at reinforcements with Nehuén Pérez injured and other centre-backs already in the squad. The report concerns negotiations rather than a completed signing, so Smalling's arrival should not be treated as official without confirmation that a contract has been concluded.
