Vonic trained with the first team, could solve FC Porto's attack | OneFootball

Leonardo Vonic has started working with FC Porto’s first team, training under Francesco Farioli at a time when the Dragons are still looking for attacking solutions.

A forward for the B team, Vonic has emerged as one of the options being most closely monitored by the Porto structure. The striker 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 he is still yet to score. Even so, Francesco Farioli has already publicly defended the Turkish forward, stressing that the goals will come naturally with work and playing time.

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

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