Borja Sainz expresses his satisfaction at FC Porto. Recruited from Norwich during the summer transfer window, the Spanish winger quickly secured a starting position in Francesco Farioli's system and, in an interview with Dragões in September, reflected on his first months in blue and white, also recalling how his connection to the club began.

“From the first day, I realized that this club is special and that everyone here is part of a family. As soon as I arrived, I received a lot of support from the fans, my teammates, the staff, the president, and the coaching team. I am very happy here,” said the number 17, assuring that he didn’t think “twice” once he learned of Porto’s interest.

“It’s the biggest club in Portugal, I’ve always seen great players play here and win very important titles. I didn’t even hesitate when I got the call. I immediately told my agent that I wanted to come here and win titles,” affirmed Borja, saying he was “impressed” with the two Champions Leagues won by FC Porto, in 1987 and 2004. “I think the team is working really well and it showed in these first games. This is the path to follow because we are training better every day. We only think about one game at a time and not about the future,” he added.

“When I arrived, everyone helped me a lot, the whole team. We are a family that is there when someone needs it, whether they are doing well or not, and I think that’s the most important thing because, day to day, your colleagues are who surround you. I tell my parents a lot that I feel at home because, in truth, I have many Spaniards here too, but it’s not about that. I’m very happy, not only because we are winning and training well daily, but because of the family we are. They helped me from day one, I have everything here, those little details make the difference. I am really very happy,” he acknowledged, leaving in the air the dream of representing the Spanish national team at the World Cup.

“Of course, I would like to play in the World Cup, it’s a dream, but for now, I’m focused on working daily, which is the most important thing. If that moment comes, great, but if it doesn’t, I will continue to work so that one day it happens,” he concluded.
