FC Porto: André Silva is all but done | OneFootball

FC Porto have virtually sealed the signing of André Silva.

The Portugal international is the striker wanted by the blue-and-white board to strengthen the attack, following the departures of Terem Moffi and Luuk de Jong.

At this stage, according to what has been learned, only a few details remain before an agreement with André Silva is finalized and the player can move on to signing his contract.

The 30-year-old striker is out of contract with Elche and will arrive at the Dragão on a free transfer.

Even so, André Silva is not expected to be the only attacking reinforcement. This is because, due to the injury to Samu, who is only expected to return to the pitch in October, the club feels the need to bring in another centre-forward.

The end of Terem Moffi’s loan was confirmed on Thursday, with FC Porto not activating the eight-million-euro purchase clause with Nice, just as Luuk de Jong’s departure was officially confirmed a week ago.

André Silva scored 10 goals in 31 La Liga matches for Elche in 2025/26 and is seen as a homegrown player and an option for the centre of the attack in a sector that is being rebuilt.

Nine years ago, he left FC Porto and signed for Milan for 38 million euros. After that, he also played for Sevilla, Eintracht Frankfurt, Leipzig and Werder Bremen.
