Real Madrid striker Alvaro Negredo could be on his way out of Spain this summer if the ‘White House’ agrees to sell him to Porto.

Don't Miss

According to Sport, the Portuguese giants have made an irresistible bid of €20 million for the 23-year-old hitman.

The Dragoes recently raked in €24m from Lyon for the sale of Argentine forward Lisandro Lopez, and they are ready to spend big to bring in a replacement striker.

Villarreal recently expressed their interest to sign Negredo, but their €15m offer was considered insufficient. It was rumoured that a swap deal could be put in place instead, where the Vallecas-born striker would head to El Madrigal and Santi Cazorla would switch to the Bernabeu, with the Madrid outfit including €25m in cash in the deal.

But Porto’s alleged €20m proposal could be far more fetching to Los Blancos, who could accept the offer in haste and make a fresh assault for either Franck Ribery or Xabi Alonso.

Madrid could also be tempted to use Negredo in a part-exchange deal to sign defender Bruno Alves, who has a €30m price tag and is also being tracked by Barcelona.
