Bruno Martins Indi agrees move to Porto

Netherlands international Bruno Martins Indi has signed a four-year deal with Porto after leaving Feyenoord.

The 22-year old defender, who was born in Portugal, has joined Porto for a reported fee of £6 million. 

He appeared for Netherlands in the World Cup and made some impressive performances as he won the Bronze medal at the tournament.

With Dutch coach Louis Van Gaal set to take the reins at Old Trafford the centre-back had been heavily linked with a move to United before his former side announced his Portugal switch.

"A big part of his training came at Feyenoord and he became an important player in our first team and now is also a full international. We wish Bruno good luck with this new challenge in his career," said Eredivisie club Feyenoord's technical director Martin van Geel. 

'To me, this feels like the right time to leave. Feyenoord have benefited financially from my departure while I can take on a new challenge in Portugal." said the 22-year-old, who made his debut for Feyenoord in August 2010. 

Indi made 102 league appearances for the Eredivisie side, scoring five goals.

The defender's departure is another blow for Feyenoord, who have already sold Graziano Pelle to Southampton this summer and Daryl Janmaat to Newcastle United.
