FC Porto are very close to securing the signing of Martín Anselmi to succeed Vítor Bruno as coach of the Dragons, but the main priority was Luís Castro.
André Villas-Boas, president of the Dragons, tried his best to hire him, but the 63-year-old coach did not want to give up the salary he still receives from Al Nassr, in Saudi Arabia, worth 600 thousand euros per month, unbearable amounts. for the blue and white club.
Luís Castro was fired from the club where Cristiano Ronaldo plays last year, where he earned a salary of over seven million euros per month, and has had a number of offers. However, if he accepts them, he will lose the right to receive the remaining compensation from the Saudis.
With the Portuguese coach ruled out, FC Porto turned to Martín Anselmi, 39, with whom they have already reached an understanding, valid until 2027.
For the agreement to be closed, an understanding with Cruz Azul, from Mexico, is still needed.
