Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior is reportedly wanted by Porto ahead of the summer transfer window deadline.
The 25-year-old was supposedly priced out of a move last month after the Gunners slapped a £26.1m price tag on the player.
Kiwior played a major part of Arsenal in the Premier League and Champions League last season following a number of defensive injuries.
However, the centre-back is currently out of the side, with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes preferred as the pairing by head coach Mikel Arteta.
Kiwior did not feature for the Gunners on Sunday afternoon, when a Ricardo Calafiori goal was enough to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Porto want Arsenal man Kiwior?
According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Porto have not given up hope on signing the Arsenal defender this summer.
The report claims that the Primeira Liga outfit remain in the hunt for Gunners man Kiwior, with just days of the window left to operate in.
It is understood that Arsenal turned a bid down from Porto for Kiwior in July, with the Portuguese side set to try once again in August.
It is believed that the defender is 'high on a list' of centre-back options for Porto, who will fight Benfica and Sporting Lisbon for the domestic crown in 2025-26.
Arsenal are supposedly reluctant to part ways with the Pole, who was a key part of the Gunners' second half of the 2024-25 term.

Crossroads for Kiwior
Despite being a valuable asset to Arsenal last season, it is extremely hard to imagine Kiwior becoming a first-choice option at the Emirates any time soon.
The Gunners are heavily invested into a centre-back pairing of Saliba and Gabriel - a duo who have served the club admirably in recent times.
To gain regular first-team minutes, Kiwior will have to move away from North London, with Porto an attractive destination on paper.
