Tottenham negotiate transfer of Portugal central defender Rolando from FC Porto. #THFC #FCP
Tottenham Hotspur have begun negotiations with FC Porto over the transfer of Portugal international defender Rolando. The 27-year-old central defender has been identified by Andre Villas-Boas as one of four new players to be acquired with some of the revenue from Gareth Bale's proposed €100million move to Real Madrid.
Rolando was sidelined by Porto for the first half of last season and loaned to Napoli for the second half following a dispute over the Portuguese club's desire to move him to Queens Park Rangers. Until that point a regular for his national team, the Cape Verde-born defender had the most successful year of his career when winning a treble of Primeira Liga, Taca de Portugal and Europa League under Villas-Boas in 2011
