Porto still trying to negotiate w/ Nacional the rest of his pass (50%) which is currently owned by Nacional. Rui Alves is a tough negotiator, there is a clause in P. Assuncao's contract that says if some team offers more than $8 million for him Porto must sell him or pay Nacional half of that amount. Back in December Nacional appraised his pass to be worth 5 million. Supposedly not much has changed since then (perhaps it even lowered says the article ) but Porto should look to close out this deal very soon as Rui Alves is upset and has said Nacional made a bad deal with the Adriano transfer (Porto will only pay Cruzeiro 1.2 mil and Nacional only 300,000 when Porto uses a clause at the end of this year to keep Adriano) http://www.ojogo.pt/22-66/Artigo548592.htm
