FC Porto have enquired about Espanyol striker Luis Garcia, according to reports in Spain.

Garcia is one of the players that has been tipped to leave Espanyol in the summer as the club look to cash in on some of their assets as a solution to the recent financial worries.

Reports in Portugal and Spain have suggested that Porto are lining up a bid for Garcia, who has allegedly been identified as the ideal replacement for Lisandro Lopez.

Although Porto are yet to agree a fee with Lyon for the Argentinian forward, a deal seems to be imminent and the Portuguese giants have already begun their search for a substitute piece on the front.

According to Sport, the Dragons are reluctant to offer more than €5 million for the player, but Espanyol are keen to make this deal surpass the €6m mark.

As for Garcia, the player looks open to the idea of a new challenge after four years of duty at Espanyol.
