FC Porto Striker Luuk de Jong Set to Depart at End of Season

Portuguese media zerozero has reported the development, noting that the forwards choice arises from major family concerns, leading him to head back to the Netherlands.

His agreement with FC Porto concludes at the seasons finish, though there was a clause to prolong it by one more year, yet the 35 year old has chosen otherwise and plans to relocate to Eindhoven.

He remains in recovery from an operation performed in December, following a rupture of his left knees anterior cruciate ligament, ensuring he will not represent FC Porto any further.

Approaching his 36th birthday in mere months, Luuk de Jong featured in just seven matches and found the net once for the Dragões.

Remarkably, amid scarce opportunities during a year hindered by two grave injuries, the Netherlands international proved vital to FC Portos championship campaign, netting the winner in a 2 1 triumph against Sporting during the fourth fixture of the Primeira Liga Clássico.
