Monaco join queue for Fernando?

AS Monaco have reportedly entered the running to sign Porto midfielder Fernando on a free transfer next summer.

The 26-year-old was a target for Everton during the last transfer window, although Manchester United have recently been linked with a move.

Fernando's contract at the Estadio do Dragao runs out in eighth months, meaning that he will be available to discuss a Bosman switch as early as January.

According to talkSPORT, The French side are the latest club to declare their interest in snapping up the uncapped Brazilian, with Juventus and Inter Milan also believed to be tracking him.
