Attack is the summer priority
Your squad needs goals. Luuk de Jong is leaving, Samu is injured, and Moffi's fitness is uncertain (1). That leaves Farioli's attack threadbare before a ball is even kicked in 2026-27. Expect movement soon, Porto cannot go into the new season with the current options up front.
Gustavo Sá deal close
The 21-year-old Famalicão midfielder is on the verge of joining Porto (3). Sá has been one of the league's standout young players and fits the profile Farioli wants: technical, press-resistant, and ready for a step up. Not done yet, but very close.
Moffi captains Nigeria to victory
Your forward started and wore the armband for Nigeria in their win against Zimbabwe (4). Good news for his sharpness after fitness concerns, he led the line and came through unscathed.

Farioli's revealing first interview
The new manager didn't hold back. "I had the word loser stamped on my forehead," Farioli said, reflecting on how he was perceived before Villas-Boas took a chance on him (2). He praised the president's courage in hiring him when others doubted. It's the kind of honesty that will win fans over quickly.
Kiwior already attracting eyes
Barcelona are reportedly interested in Jakub Kiwior, who only recently completed a permanent move to Porto (6). The Catalan club sees him as a cheaper alternative to Bastoni. No bid yet, but it's a reminder that your new defender remains on the radar of Europe's elite.
Mozambique U17 captain on the radar
Porto and Braga are both tracking 16-year-old Diego Pelembe, who captains Mozambique's U17 side (7). Liverpool, Club Brugge, and Bragantino are also watching, so it's a competitive race for a raw talent.
Nico González could leave City
The midfielder who brought Porto €60 million is considering his future at Manchester City due to a lack of game time (8). A departure could trigger a sell-on clause, so keep an eye on this one even though the player is no longer yours.
Fan reactions
The Farioli interview is doing the rounds on Reddit, with fans appreciating his raw honesty about being written off before arriving at the Dragão. Meanwhile, the title celebrations continue, the subreddit is already buzzing with "tetra campeão" posts after Porto wrapped up the league. On the Nico González front, there's a mix of schadenfreude and financial pragmatism: if he leaves City, does Porto get another slice? Read more on reddit
