New FC Porto defender Bruno Martins Indi has revealed the reason for his weight loss at the Portuguese giants – fish.
Martins Indi joined Porto over the summer from Feyenoord for €8m, however his standing is such that he has already been linked with leaving the Portuguese side for Manchester United.
Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal is thought ready to offer €16m for Martins Indi in January, which would see Porto quickly make an €8m profit on the defender.
The Netherlands international has seemed to lose some of his imposing physique in Portugal. And he has now revealed exactly why that is the case.
"I've lost a little bit of weight", the defender acknowledged to RTV Rijnmond.

"Then you get to know about other situations. For example, if someone is sick you need to quickly find a doctor.
"Those are the things you need to work out."
