Villas-Boas on Porto's transfer plans, assures on Froholdt and Diogo Costa | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas attended the UEFA Champions League league phase draw and, speaking to Canal 11 in the mixed zone at the Grimaldi Forum, addressed FC Porto’s transfer market. The Dragons’ president admitted 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 carried out deals in the last few days. We have a fairly balanced squad, with one or two gaps we want to address if the market allows it and under the conditions the market permits. We can also be vulnerable to the market’s own drastic changes and to the assets we have. It hasn’t closed yet, we have a few things under consideration, and we’re talking to some clubs about some players. The goal 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 of the Golden Boy, which makes us proud, 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.
