Agent: Santos target Jorge Fucile will not stay at Porto
The Uruguayan defender has fallen out of favour at the Estadio do Dragao and his agent has remarked that a transfer, possibly to South America, is the only solution to the impasse
By Luis Mira
Porto full-back Jorge Fucile is set to leave the club in January, the player's agent has said.
The Uruguay international has strongly been linked with a new challenge after failing to make a single competitive appearance since November.
Santos have been mooted as Fucile's likeliest destination, while Paris Saint-Germain are also thought to be pondering a move for the 27-year-old in case they fail to sign Inter's Maicon.
"If he does not go to Santos, he will go to some other club," Pablo Tomaduz told Lancenet. "Porto's coach [Vitor Pereira] does not choose him, not even as a substitute.
"This situation is not easy for him, he was one of the best players at the 2010 World Cup.
"He must leave, at least for a year, because he does not have a place on the team."
Fucile, who moved to Porto in 2007 after a season on loan at the club, has a €20 million release clause attached to his contract, which runs out in 2014.
