André Silva was on Braga's radar before signing for FC Porto

André Silva returned to FC Porto in the last summer transfer window, the club where he completed his development. Even so, the striker could have taken a different path, since, according to the newspaper Record, he was also on Braga’s radar.

The Portugal international revived his career after his spell at Elche, for whom he played 32 matches and scored 10 goals. After ending his ties with the Spanish club, he moved to the Dragão. So far, he has made six appearances and scored two goals in the blue and white shirt.

For the attack, Braga signed several players, although only one centre-forward: Jonas Wind, who arrived on a free transfer from Wolfsburg. FC Porto also added another striker to the squad, Santiago Giménez.
