André Silva: «The Champions League is the place where FC Porto should be»

Record7 September 2026 at 11:58

André Silva returned to FC Porto and considered this transfer as the "most emotional and difficult" decision of his career. The Portuguese striker returned to the club where he stood out in the early years of his professional career.

The player spoke about the importance of representing FC Porto again, stating that the Champions League is the place where the Porto club should be. This declaration demonstrates the striker's ambition for the new season.

André Silva already knows the Estádio do Dragão well, having previously worn the dragons' jersey. His previous experience at the club should facilitate his readaptation to the squad and the team's training methods.

This signing comes at an important time for FC Porto, which is looking to strengthen its attack for the competitions in which it will participate. André Silva's return represents an added value for the offensive sector of the team coached by Sérgio Conceição.

José Manuel Freitas humiliates Benfica player live: "He'll never be a starter"

Journalist José Manuel Freitas harshly criticized Dodi Lukebakio, Benfica's Belgian winger, stating that the player "will never be a starter" under Marco Silva's management. Freitas compared Lukebakio's situation to that of Richard Ríos and argued that the Belgian will only play in lower-stakes matches such as the League Cup and Portuguese Cup against lower-tier teams. The journalist justified his position by noting that Lukebakio has different characteristics from the profile Marco Silva prefers, being described as a player who likes to have the ball at his feet and takes risks with dribbling, but is not vertical and lacks defensive ability. Benfica's management had refused to let Lukebakio leave at the close of the European transfer market.
