De Jong arrives in Portugal with a wealth of experience and a reputation as a proven goal scorer

In one of the most secretive moves of the summer, Dutch striker Luuk de Jong has officially joined FC Porto — and the announcement caught even seasoned transfer watchers off guard.

The 34-year-old forward, who joined as a free agent, was presented directly to the fans at the Estádio do Dragão during the club’s official squad unveiling for the new season. No prior reports, no leaks, no rumors — just a sudden, dramatic reveal that sent shockwaves through the football world.

De Jong arrives in Portugal with a wealth of experience and a reputation as a proven goal scorer. Last season, he was instrumental for PSV Eindhoven, making 47 appearances across all competitions, scoring 18 goals and providing 13 assists. His career résumé also includes stints with Barcelona, Sevilla, and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Why the Secrecy?

There’s still no official explanation as to how FC Porto managed to keep the deal under wraps, especially in today’s hyper-connected transfer market. Some reports suggest that talks progressed swiftly and discreetly once de Jong became a free agent. The strategy clearly worked — few transfers in recent memory have landed with such an element of surprise.
