Furthermore, talks would be at ‘an advanced stage’ over a three-year contract worth ‘around €2m’ a season for the Portuguese.
Portuguese journalist Claudia Garcia is also able to ‘confirm’ negotiations are under way and that Shakhtar will let him leave if he reaches an agreement with the Giallorossi.
The 46-year-old recently won his third straight Ukrainian title and memorably dressed up as Zorro after his side reached the Champions League last 16 during the 2017-18 campaign at the expense of Napoli.
