Porto have proven to be an exceptional grooming place for South American footballers in the past. Players like Radamel Falcao, James Rodriguez and Alex Sandro are prime examples. It now looks like a new name will be added to that list soon.

Now according to Marca, Real Madrid have eyes on Porto's Brazilian defender Militao and sent representatives to watch him play over the weekend. Militao is widely likened to Pepe for his aggression and willingness to go into tackles.

He has been pivotal to Porto's formidable defence having secured 8 clean sheets in addition to racking up two assists and scoring a goal. The Real scouts are reportedly impressed by the Brazilian's professionalism and swagger and are likely to return to Portugal with an official bid.
