Juan Quintero - PescaraPescara’s Colombian midfielder Juan Quintero has reportedly found himself the subject of a bid from Portuguese champions Porto.

Quintero joined the Delfini in July 2012 from Club Atletico Nacional, but reports suggest he may be on the move again with the Portuguese giants keen to sign the young star.

TuttoB.com report that Porto have offered a figure of €9 million to be paid up front for the 20-year-old.

That figure would too much for AC Milan and Genoa, who were thought to be on the verge of tabling a joint bid for the hotly-tipped prospect.

Quintero himself has made it no secret he is looking to leave Pescara, even posting a goodbye message to the Biancazzurri faithful on his Twitter account in May.

In his only season with Pescara, Quintero played seventeen times, scoring one goal, and though his performances were regularly praised, he failed to stop his team suffering relegation. The youngster has one Colombian cap to his name, making his debut in a friendly victory against Cameroon in October 2012.
