Corinthians defender Felipe to join Porto: reports

Xinhua, June 8, 2016 Adjust font size:

Porto have agreed to a six million-euro deal for Corinthians center-back Felipe, according to media reports.

The 27-year-old Brazilian will join the Portuguese club when the European summer transfer window opens on July 1, Gazeta Esportiva reported on Tuesday.

Felipe has made 115 first-team appearances for Corinthians since joining the club from Uniao Mogi in 2011.

In March he was called up for Brazil's World Cup qualifier against Paraguay but was an unused substitute in the 2-2 draw in Asuncion.

Felipe has developed a reputation in Brazilian football for his aerial prowess and mobility. Enditem
