Following the departures of Francisco Conceição and David Carmo from FC Porto, coach Vítor Bruno has assured that the players’ exits were not forced by the club. He emphasized that the players expressed their desire to leave and the club respected their wishes while always protecting its own interests. Regarding the recent signings, Bruno stated that the transfer market moves were necessary and that the club didn’t specifically target any player. Instead, they secured players from their pre-identified targets to address the departures. FC Porto has brought in Samu Omorodion, Deniz Gül, and Fábio Vieira (on loan).
