FC Porto: André Silva all but signed | OneFootball

FC Porto have practically wrapped up the signing of André Silva.

The Portuguese 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 the agreement with André Silva is sealed and the player can move on to signing the contract.

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

André Silva should not, however, be the only attacking signing. 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 have another centre-forward.

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

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 department undergoing reconstruction.

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.
