Portuguese daily newspaper A Bola understands that FC Porto and Lyon are locked in the battle for Club America striker Raul Jimenez.
The Dragons seem to be preparing for life without Jackson Martinez and they see the young Mexican as a good long-term replacement.
French giants Lyon are also showing interest, but latest reports suggest that FC Porto have the upper hand at the moment.
Club America officials are ready to cash in on their prized asset and are reportedly holding out for €6 million.
Raul Jimenez, 23, has spent his entire career up to date with the Mexican giants, having joined the club back in 1999.
He has since made a total of 92 league outings, scoring 32 goals and helping the club win the 2012/2013 Clausura title.
Jimenez was part of Mexico’s World Cup squad and made his only appearance at the tournament finals in the goalless draw against Brazil.
