André Franco departs on good terms: “FC Porto did right by me” | OneFootball

André Franco holds no grudge over the way he left FC Porto. Despite the "atypical" weeks he spent working apart from the rest of the Dragons' squad while trying to define his future, the midfielder guarantees that the entire process leading up to his move to Chicago Fire was conducted "in a friendly manner", without putting the connection between the parties into question.

"They were a bit atypical weeks, but it happens regularly in football. After the World Cup, I reached an agreement with FC Porto, we thought it was best for each of us to go our separate ways. There was never a more abrupt decision. Everything was done in a friendly manner. I waited until I found the best solution for me. I think it's a non-issue. I wish the best to FC Porto. They treated me very well and I hope they achieve what they want. That's all I have to say about the past, now I'm very happy to be at Chicago Fire", said André Franco, in response to a question from the newspaper Record in a press conference organized by the MLS emblem.
