Athletic Club bids under €20M for Porto winger Borja Sainz

Athletic Club is reportedly preparing an offer below €20 million for Borja Sainz, who is currently with FC Porto. The move would see the Spanish side target the Portuguese club's winger. Borja Sainz, a winger from Leioa, is currently on the bench at FC Porto. His limited playing time has not obscured his potential, according to club observations. In the league, Sainz has contributed five goals. Those strikes underline his attacking capability despite limited minutes. FC Porto has placed a €22 million valuation on the player. The Portuguese club has indicated it will not lower that price. Athletic Club’s interest is therefore framed by an offer that sits under €20 million, contrasting with Porto’s higher valuation. The Spanish club appears willing to negotiate below the Portuguese side’s asking figure. Should the deal materialise, Sainz would join Athletic Club, adding depth to their wide‑forward positions. The transfer would represent a notable acquisition for the Basque outfit.
