Pompey in for Amoroso

Portsmouth are understood to be one of the clubs keen on Marcio Amoroso.

Portsmouth are understood to be one of the clubs keen on Brazilian Marcio Amoroso.

The former Borussia Dortmund star looks set to quit Malaga this summer after losing his first team place to fellow countryman Fernando Baiano in January.

Despite having an option for another year, Amoroso is now looking to leave La Rosaleda.

"I am only happy if I play," he said.

"A Brazilian on the bench is not able to play football."

Amoroso also has offers from Asia with clubs in Japan and Qatar ready to take him, but he could yet end up in The Premiership.

Before his move to Spain, Amoroso did interest both Liverpool and Birmingham last summer.
