Target Could Cost 22 Million

Porto are reluctant to part with the 25-year-old defender and have placed the huge price tag on the player in the hope of warding off interest from clubs.

"Only if we arrive at this proposition would we be interested in studying the possible exit," a Porto spokesman told the Portuguese daily newspaper A Bola.

"We are calm because the defender enters into our plans and nobody has presented an offer to Porto for Bosingwa."
