Porto, Portugal (My Sportsbook) - Portuguese champion FC Porto completed a move Thursday for Brazilian international and Cruzeiro fullback Leandro. The Champions League holders bring in the left fullback for a $2.45 million fee. The 25-year-old is expected to make his debut in Portugal after the New Year. Cruzeiro has struggled badly this season as they currently sit 14th in the 24- team Brasileirao with just five matches remaining. The defending Brazilian champions are coming off a 4-1 defeat against Sao Caetano this past weekend. Leandro, however, did score his team's lone goal in the contest. Porto's season has been filled with some up and downs. They have sorely missed Nuno Valente, the club's left back who has been sidelined with a knee injury. |
