FC Barcelona have started initial talks with FC Porto about signing 26-year-old Polish center-back Jakub Kiwior, who impressed with 38 appearances during his permanent move from Arsenal. Deco spoke directly with Porto's president André Villas-Boas, with Porto seeking around €40 million—far below his €70 million release clause—thanks to good club relations.
