Luuk de Jong, Dutch striker, spoke publicly about his time at FC Porto, revealing that the Porto club expressed interest in extending his contract for another season. However, the player decided not to accept that offer, choosing to follow a different path in his career.

In the interview, De Jong explained the reasons that led him to leave FC Porto, although the specific details of those reasons were not fully specified in the title. The striker also mentioned the recovery process from an injury, which suggests that physical problems may have influenced his decision or his performance during his time at the Portuguese club.

The Dutch player also revealed that he is carefully considering the next step in his career, demonstrating that he does not view this phase as an endpoint. This statement indicates that De Jong intends to remain active in professional football, seeking a new sporting challenge.

FC Porto, known as the dragões, thus loses a Dutch international striker who made an impact at the club during last season, with the decision about De Jong's professional future now resting with him.
