Porto president Andre Villas-Boas rejected claims that Barcelona want to sign defender Jakub Kiwior in the summer. He said he was surprised by the reports and denied any ongoing talks. He stated he has not spoken to Deco for three months and that Deco never contacted him about Kiwior. Porto recently signed Kiwior permanently after a successful loan spell. Barcelona appear to be focusing on strengthening their attack rather than adding to their backline. Barcelona are linked with moves for Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon, Chelsea star Joao Pedro, and Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez.
"“I was very surprised to see the news and I have to deny it. I haven't spoken to Deco for three months, he never called me to talk about the Kiwior affair,” he told reporters at an event in Lisbon."
"Porto have just signed Kiwior on a permanent basis after a successful loan spell, while Barca seem to be prioritising strengthening their attack in the transfer window."
"Speculation emerged this week that Barcelona are thinking of the former Arsenal star as an option to bolster their backline."
"A move for Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon appears to be picking up steam, while Barca continue to be linked with Chelsea star Joao Pedro and Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez."
