Kenneth Taylor regrets not joining FC Porto: "It really hurt me" | OneFootball

Kenneth Taylor was on FC Porto’s list of transfer targets and, in an interview with Voetbal International, explained why the transfer did not go through. The midfielder ended up transferring to Lazio in January of this year.

“To be honest, I really wanted to go to FC Porto. I was ready for a new challenge and I really wanted to play under Farioli again,” said the Dutch international.

Taylor also spoke about his disappointment at not signing for the Dragons: “It didn’t happen, even though I was counting on it. I was very disappointed and suffered a lot because of it for a while.”

Additionally, the player revealed the message that Francesco Farioli sent him and did not hold back on his praise for the Italian coach. “He said he liked me a little less. He apologized, but also congratulated me. I really enjoyed working with him. He’s a top-class coach. It’s no wonder almost everyone was in tears when he said goodbye to us at Ajax.”

It should be noted that Taylor scored one goal in 12 games for the Italian team, which paid over 16 million euros for his transfer.
