André Silva is back at FC Porto. The 30-year-old striker arrives on a free from Elche and becomes the first signing for next season for coach Francesco Farioli, who recently saw Luuk de Jong leave the club. The Dutchman, who surprised by joining Porto after leaving PSV last year, had a spell marked by a serious knee injury, which limited his contribution to winning the national title. With the 35-year-old former international leaving the Estádio do Dragão, Farioli welcomes back a familiar face to Porto fans. André Silva made his debut for Porto's first team ten years ago, scoring 21 goals in 44 games in the 2016/17 season, earning him a move to AC Milan. Although Silva started well in Italy, scoring 10 goals in his first season, he failed to establish himself as one of the best strikers in the world, despite having a few productive seasons in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig. However, he had a relatively productive year in Spain, scoring 10 goals for Elche, who managed to stay in La Liga. Now, André Silva will have the opportunity to stand out again in high-level competitions, as Farioli's team will participate in the Champions League. The Italian coach has already expressed his intention to build on last season's success, and Silva's arrival appears to be just the start of a busy summer of transfers at the Estádio do Dragão.
