Well, let’s hope we don’t lowball Porto now. But I’ve heard previously around 20M Euros.
Any Portuguese league watchers able to elaborate on this guy?

Don't believe we will get him for 1 second but would love too. His stats are insane.
Would have thought Mourinho would be the one to raid Portugal for the best players, not his successor. Porto fans seem to rate him highly from what I've seen.
Too old
5 years? Are they sure?
We seem to be agreeing personal terms with the players. It’s the fee with the club we can’t seem to negotiate.
Oh look, another personal terms agreed with Utd type thing. What's this, the 3rd time this summer we've agreed personal terms with someone but don't actually have a deal in place with the club?
I'll be more excited when I see fee agreed. That seems to be our biggest stumbling block lately.

Good business by PSG.
Too Brazilian
Our whole thing is we only buy from clubs that want to sell us players.
Too Left-footed, oh hang on.
Basically trading Smalling for him. Assuming Roma pay our asking price.
Very good deal that in my opinion.
5 years, that's like 8 Luke Shaw injuries!
Is he any good?
Whats Bouhafsi like for these types of deals? If we are being used here to pressure PSG, would it come through a french journalist? But also... why would he get this scoop haha
28 in Dec. Five years? Five?!
Maybe like 20 years ago. Thought the only time he’d be at Old Trafford this year was at Soccer Aid
Why would we agree 5 year?
Yep just the usual Portuguese media linking us to players that the clubs are looking to move on. Every single summer there’s always 3 or 4 targets who amount to zero.
So he’s good then?
Good business imo.
Better than Reguillon. And much better than Shaw. Very great signing, if it happens.
Sounds like they are guessing the contract length to me.
We never seem to have any trouble getting a player to agree to join us, our issue seems to be agreeing a fee, wasn't there a report today we were hesitant to pay for him? I won't get my hopes up.
Always suspicious of players who attract hype for years on end but somehow stay at a relatively small club until their late 20s.
I'm trying to stop myself getting drawn in and excited to another saga but Telles for under €20m is a steal and is a better LB right now than Reguillon
I'm totally behind this deal.
Also Telles agent is the same as David Alaba....maybe we get both (ok i need to calm down my inner muppet )

)It’s prolly a 4+1 year deal. Doubt we will trigger the extension.
Not a player I’m excited about to be honest. I’d rather go with a younger player that we can develop. Still that’s a low price in the modern market and we need a LB so I guess it wouldn’t be a bad buy if it turns out to be true.
I know nothing about him. Looked at some youtube videos, couldn't find any clips of his defending - seemed pretty good going forward. 
This would be a disappointing signing, there are so many other options that suit our supposed 'transfer policy' a lot better. Saying that though I would still bring him in if the alternative is bringing nobody in at all to compete for that position.

13 goals last year - from left back!?
There are no real details about this, just speculation. He has 1 year left in his contract, he will not be offered 5 years - no way. Maybe 3 + 1 on a £15m euro deal......
If any Uk based journos report then there may be more substance - however, the fact that it says we haven’t agreed with the club means it’s just agent/intermediary chitter

Think he's their penalty taker.
Should be a 3 year contract at most at that age. We will never learn. If he’s a massive success, then he can get rewarded. If he’s bad then we only have him for a few years and we can get him off the wage bill. The club need to be a lot smarter and start reducing these contracts.
Be difficult to get a 27 year old to agree to that I think. It’s most likely 4+1.
Absolutely trying to get PSG to bid for him. They're in need of a left back due to Bernat's injury.
This looks like a panic buy.
This video does him no favours at all but his vision and crossing are a huge improvement on what we currently have.
