Report: Hugo Almeida Moving Towards Werder Bremen Exit

Werder Bremen striker Hugo Almeida is reportedly nearing a return to Portugal, with Sporting and Porto among his possible destinations.
Hugo Almeida may be one of the rare bright spots in Werder Bremen's season, but the striker is reportedly nearing a move to his native Portugal.

According to a report from Bild, the 26-year-old striker is pursuing a transfer in January, with Sporting and Porto among his potential destinations.

Though Bremen will rue losing their most consistent striker this season, they may be forced to make a move. With an exit from Europe imminent and qualification for the 2011-12 Champions League rapidly becoming doubtful, the Hanseaten might be tempted to cash in on Almeida, who could leave on a free transfer in the summer.
