Iturbe seeks loan exit from Porto as Racing approach

Porto attacker Juan Iturbe is keen to leave the club on loan until the end of the season, the player's agent has revealed. Likewise, Iturbe's father revealed that Racing Club, of which his son is fan, is after the young star.

The 18-year-old has been out of favour at Portuguese powerhouse, making just five appearances since completing a 6.25 million dollars deal from Cerro Porteño.

Iturbe's situation has reportedly caught the eye of Bolton Wanderers and Racing Club, and the Argentine's father has indicated that a loan exit is a possibility.

“My son has not been playing regularly at Porto,” Juan Del Carmen told reporters, and added: "We know of Racing's interest from the papers and we are looking for a solution, a loan spell so that he can play. I would like to see my son play in Argentina and I hope the transfer [to Racing] goes through as he actually is a fan of Racing."

Meanwhile, Iturbe's agent, Augusto Paraja, told reporters that he receives 'new offers every day', but stressed that it is necessary to talk to Porto before deciding on the course of action.
