The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League with Arsenal and Tottenham both said to be tracking the Portugal Under-21 international.
It is claimed both clubs have also made enquiries via third parties over a potential transfer fee and wage demands.

But the Sun claim Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho now wants to sign Bruma in the winter window as he looks to bolster his attacking ranks with an injection of pace and trickery.
Mourinho is said to be unhappy with a host of United players and he could cash in on the likes of Memphis Depay and Ashley Young in January - freeing up space for fresh-faced Bruma to secure a move to Old Trafford.

Bruma, who signed for Galatasaray from Sporting Lisbon in 2013, has been impressive so far this season - scoring four goals and providing three assists in 10 Super Lig appearances.
The Turkish giants have tied down Bruma, who enjoyed a loan spell at Real Sociedad last season, to a contract until the end of next season and could be tempted to cash in on him rather than let his value drop.
Squawka claimed last month north London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are both competing for Bruma's signature.
United currently sit in sixth spot in the Premier League and face Arsenal after the international break.
