André Silva is set to rejoin FC Porto. The transfer is expected to be officially announced soon, shortly after the forward returns from Japan, where, as A BOLA reported, the player chose to spend a few days on holiday.

The Portuguese international has no objections to the salary cut that his return to the Estádio do Dragão will entail. Contractually, the situation is also resolved: Elche did not activate their option to renew his contract, meaning André will arrive in Porto on a free transfer.

Nevertheless, the 30-year-old Portuguese striker's season with the Valencia-based club left a significant impression, and this Tuesday, LaLiga itself lauded André Silva's goal-scoring record.

"10 goals for André Silva. No Elche player had reached double digits in goals in a LaLiga season since Jonathan Jesus in 2014/15," the Spanish League highlighted on social media. The Portuguese international shared the post. The striker featured in 32 matches for the franjiverdes.
