Vonic trained with the first team and could boost FC Porto's attack | OneFootball

Leonardo Vonic has joined FC Porto’s first-team work, training under Francesco Farioli at a time when the Dragons are still looking for solutions in attack.

A striker for the B team, Vonic has emerged as one of the options being most closely monitored by the Porto structure. The centre-forward has been one of FC Porto B’s main attacking references in Liga Portugal 2 and has scored four goals in 18 matches in the competition, a record that puts him in the spotlight among the internal alternatives for the role.

Vonic’s integration into the first-team squad comes in a context of greater demands in the attacking department. Since Samu’s injury, Deniz Gül has taken on a bigger role but is still yet to score. Even so, Francesco Farioli has already publicly come out in defence of the Turkish forward, stressing that the goals issue will be a natural consequence of work and playing time.

In training, Vonic was seen integrated with the main group, taking part in drills under the guidance of the coaching staff led by Farioli. The presence of the young Croatian striker strengthens the possibility of FC Porto relying on internal solutions at a time when it is seeking greater efficiency in the final third.

Leonardo Vonic’s progress will therefore be watched closely in the coming days, at a time when FC Porto continue to assess alternatives for the centre-forward position.
