Record list Manchester United, Arsenal and Real Madrid as competition for the signature of Dias, who has a release clause of €66m in his contract.
The report also suggests that the Lisbon club are looking to raise that release clause in the 22-year-old’s contract to around €100m.

Wolves have also been linked with a move for AC Milan striker Patrick Cutrone, who is set to fly to the United States with the Rossoneri on their pre-season tour.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are now less than a week away from their Europa League opener with Crusaders, but did close out their pre-season tour of China by beating Manchester City on penalties.
