Rio de Janeiro, Jul 11 (IANS): Flamengo are in talks to sign Porto's Colombia international midfielder Juan Quintero, according to media reports.

But the Rio de Janeiro club faces competition for the 22-year-old's signature from their Brazilian rivals Atletico Mineiro, Xinhua quoted newspaper Globoesporte as saying on Friday.
