Porto manager André Villas-Boas revealed how the club’s signing of Samu Omorodion was made possible thanks to Atlético Madrid’s discretion during negotiations, preventing any media leaks about the deal. He humorously mentioned that transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, famous for breaking transfer news, didn’t discover the move until it was finalized. Villas-Boas thanked Atlético for their silence, which was key in securing the striker after Chelsea’s initial move for Omorodion collapsed earlier in the summer. The deal was concluded quickly, allowing Porto to benefit from the young talent
The former Alaves loanee – who is on a contract until 2029 – could feature for Villas-Boas’ Porto side when they are next in action away to Sintrense on October 20 in the third round of the Taca de Portugal.
