Al Duhail midfielder Shoya Nakajima could be poised for a return to Portugal, with emerging report of interest coming from Porto.

According to Portuguese newspaper O Jogo, Porto have turned their attention to the Japan international as successor to left-sided midfielder Yacine Brahimi, who is nearing the end of his contract. Nakajima had played for Portimonense until February this year.

The report stated that Nakajima, who scored two goals in 16 appearances for Al Duhail, has been unsatisfied with the quality of the Qatari league and would welcome a return to Portugal.

Al Duhail have no intention of selling Nakajima, though a loan move remains a possibility. And to join Porto, he will have to take a massive cut in his current 3.5 million euros annual salary.

Nakajima is currently representing Japan in the Copa America.
