Villas-Boas on Porto moves, reassures over Froholdt and Diogo Costa | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas was present at the draw for the UEFA Champions League league phase and, speaking to Canal 11 in the mixed zone at the Grimaldi Forum, addressed FC Porto’s transfer business. The Dragons’ president admitted that there could still be movement in the final days of the summer transfer window.

“We’ll see… I think there are things we can try to do. The coach would also like to do them. The market can fluctuate a lot in the final days. Last year, we also did deals in the final days. We have a fairly balanced squad, with one or two gaps that we want to address if the market allows it and under the conditions the market permits. We may also be vulnerable to the market’s own radical changes and to the assets we have. It still hasn’t closed, we have a few things under consideration, we’re talking to some clubs about some players. The objective will always be to strengthen the team,” said the Dragons’ president.

Asked about Victor Froholdt and Diogo Costa, Villas-Boas praised the Danish midfielder and was unequivocal regarding the team captain. “We can’t speculate about that. Victor is a player who has adapted to the FC Porto environment like no other and is one of the club’s best assets. He’s in the top 10 for the Golden Boy, it’s a source of pride, and the FC Porto shop is always expensive. [laughs] Diogo is our captain and we cannot do without him under any circumstances,” said the FC Porto president.
