Porto agree to sign Standard Liege duo

Porto are set to sign Steven Defour and Eliaquim Mangala, Belgian newspaper Le Soir has revealed.

The Dragons have been keeping tabs on the Standard Liege duo for quite a while and they appear to have agreed a transfer fee with the Belgian club.

The total cost of the transfer will be around €13 million, with both players set to sign five-year deals at Dragao.

According to the Belgian newspaper, Standard Liege have scheduled a new conference for Monday to announce the departure of the two players.

Midfielder Steven Defour has been linked with a number of top European clubs in the past, including Manchester United, but the interest in his services subsided as he missed big part of last season through injury.

Eliaquim Mangala has earned rave reviews for his defensive performances last season and the 20-year-old has now jumped at the opportunity to join a bigger club.
