Asked about the guarantees offered by André Silva and Gul, Francesco Farioli said: “Samu will still need a few more weeks before returning to the team. It’s never just about looking at one position, but rather about putting together a puzzle that can deal with different scenarios. Sometimes we may believe one player can replace another, but I like to see things in a broader way. Sometimes you need a direct replacement, other times you need a player who can cover other positions. That is very clear internally. Then, what we will be able to do depends on several factors and circumstances. The final days of the transfer window are always crazy. A lot can happen, but being close to the end of the window should not change our focus on tomorrow’s game. I expect a very difficult match in Viseu, against a team that will give everything to get points. It will be a huge step if we can get the result we want there”.
On a possible departure for Froholdt: “I think the situation is very clear. We know the price of the players who are here for anyone who wants to come and sign them. FC Porto is an expensive boutique to shop in. We’ll see how the final days go. The most important thing is to go into tomorrow with the right mindset, thinking only about the game. From now until tomorrow, until the end of the match, the phone has to be on airplane mode. After that, we will have 48 hours to hear the latest transfer market news”.
