André Franco departs on good terms: “FC Porto was good for me” | OneFootball

André Franco holds no hard feelings about the way he left FC Porto. Despite the “unusual” weeks he spent training separately from the rest of the Dragons’ squad while trying to determine his future, the midfielder assures that the entire process leading up to his move to Chicago Fire was handled “in a friendly manner,” without jeopardizing the relationship between the parties.

“They were a bit unusual weeks, but that happens regularly in football. After the World Cup, I reached an agreement with FC Porto, and we thought it was best for each of us to go our separate ways. There was never any abrupt decision. Everything was done in a friendly way. I waited until I found the best solution for myself. I think it’s a non-issue. I wish FC Porto all the best. They treated me very well, and I hope they achieve what they want. That’s all I have to say about the past; now I’m very happy to be at Chicago Fire,” said André Franco, in response to a question from the newspaper Record during a press conference organized by the MLS club.
