André Silva back at the Dragão: FC Porto seal striker, more to come | OneFootball

FC Porto are finalizing the return of André Silva, with the striker expected to sign a one-season contract, with the option of extending it for a further year.

The process has been developed over the last few weeks by the structure led by André Villas-Boas and is already on track for final formalization, after the player returned to Portugal and completed the usual procedures before signing.

In building the squad for 2026/27, André Silva is not being brought in to take De Jong’s place in the attacking hierarchy. The intention is instead for him to fill the spot left vacant by Moffi, in a solution that adds depth to Francesco Farioli’s attack.

Even so, Porto’s business for the attack is not expected to end with this signing. The injury to Samu, whose recovery could drag on until October, is leading FC Porto to look for another major option for the forward line.

André Silva is therefore preparing for a return to the Dragão several years after leaving, at a time when the blue and whites are looking to strengthen internal competition and ensure more options for the start of the new season.

The deal is expected to be made official in the coming days, concluding a process that brings FC Porto closer to securing another piece for the attack.
