Portuguese sports paper A Bola unconfirmedly claims that Barcelona is preparing a strong bid for Porto central defender and Portuguese international Bruno Alves (27).
The offer would be around 30 million euro°, which is the buyout clause of the player. Porto wouldn't be willing to let the player, whose contract expires in 2012, leave for less than the buyout fee.
Portuguese sports paper Record claims that it's very probable that Barcelona will make a bid for Bruno Alves in the coming days after a deal on the transfer of Shakhtar Donetsk central defender and Ukrainian international Dmytro Chyhrynskiy (22) didn't seem possible (read more here).

Talks in Portugal on Bruno Alves
Portuguese sports paper Record claims that a representative of Barcelona was in Porto yesterday to hold talks on the transfer of Porto central defender and Portuguese international Bruno Alves (27).
Bruno Alves, who was on holiday in the Algarve region in the south of Portugal, would have decided to return to the city of Porto, in the north of the country, where he is expected to arrive today.
Porto would be organizing a bid race for the defender who will certainly leave the club this summer. The club reportedly received several offers but is waiting for a bid of at least 25 million euro° to close the deal. Barcelona would be leading the race while Chelsea is also said to be seriously interested.
