The young centre-back was the subject of a £1 million bid from Millwall in the January transfer window and the Easter Road side are braced for renewed interest in the Scottish youth international this summer.

One of the teams chasing Porteous, the Scottish Sun reports, is Champions League hopefuls Galatasaray. The Super Lig side finished second last season and are looking to bolster their squad of the new campaign.

A seven-figure bid is expected in the next week. It is similar to the offer submitted by Millwall but with a number of add-ons which could make the overall value much greater.

The 22-year-old played 42 times for Jack Ross’ men last season as Hibs reached the semi-final of the Betfred Cup and the final of the Scottish Cup, all while finishing third in the league table and clinching a return to European football next term.
