FC Porto Reaches Agreement for Moffi, Say French Sources
FC Porto has reportedly reached a preliminary agreement to acquire Terem Moffi, a Nigerian striker currently playing for OGC Nice. This move aims to bolster the team’s attack following the injury sidelining Luuk de Jong for the remainder of the season. French media sources confirm that the deal involves a loan arrangement lasting until the end of the season, alongside an option to purchase Moffi for eight million euros.
Details of the Agreement
The agreement allows Moffi to potentially travel to Porto to finalize various administrative tasks, which include undergoing medical examinations and signing his contract. Moffi, aged 26, has previously played under coach Francesco Farioli, which may have facilitated FC Porto’s interest.
Current Team Situation
FC Porto’s management team has been actively seeking solutions to address Luuk de Jong’s absence. Moffi represents a promising opportunity, especially given his ongoing conflict with OGC Nice, which has made negotiations more seamless.
