Porto are relying on André Silva as their main striker option until a new signing arrives. The 30-year-old Portugal international has been the immediate solution in attack for the Dragons, who topped the Primeira Liga last season with 88 points (28 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses in 34 games).
Why is André Silva Farioli’s choice?
Manager Francesco Farioli trusts André Silva’s ability to hold possession in advanced areas and link play with the wingers and midfielders. Even after a less impressive finishing performance against Torreense (1-0 Supertaça win), the forward has proven vital to the team’s tactical setup.
What’s next for Deniz Gul?
The Turkish international, who ended last season as a starter, has been losing ground. Struggling to find the net, Gul could be sold if a strong offer emerges. Porto, who scored 66 goals and conceded 18 last season (+48 goal difference), remain open to strengthening their attack.
What about Santiago Giménez?
The 25-year-old Mexican has been linked with Porto, but the club are evaluating multiple options and won’t overspend. Giménez, surplus to requirements at Milan, is also a target for Lazio, though the Rossoneri prefer a permanent deal. Porto, who face Alverca next Sunday, are staying patient in the transfer market.
