Porto: Quaresma Can Go For 40m

Porto chairman Pinto da Costa says that he is willing to off-load Ricardo Quaresma if a club pays €40 million for his services.

The Portuguese winger arrived at Estádio do Dragão from Barcelona in 2004 in a move involving Deco going the other way, and has since established himself as the team's playmaker thanks to his speed and dribbling abilities.

Quaresma, who has been linked with a move to a host of top clubs in Europe, has seen Porto turning down several offers for his services since he joined the Dragons.

But Pinto da Costa now seems ready to let his starlet go at the end of the season if the right numbers are on the table.

"Quaresma's departure will be inevitable if any club offer €40 million," he said.

Real Madrid are monitoring him closely as they look for a right sided player, while Inter and Liverpool are both more than keen as well.

Bosingwa Situation

Full-back Bosingwa has been tipped for a summer move, but da Costa revealed that the club have not received any offer for him.

"No offer has been made for Bosingwa yet," he stressed.

"Last year, Arsenal were interested in him, but this year no club have showed interest in making a millionaire offer."
