FC Porto eye Jhon Solis after failed January move | OneFootball

After securing Gabri Veiga and Victor Froholdt for the midfield, FC Porto remains active in the market and may go after another midfielder: Jhon Solis. The 20-year-old Colombian midfielder, who plays for Girona, has been linked to the Dragons again by journalist César Luis Merlo, seven months after an initial approach that was unsuccessful.

In January, the blue and white club made a proposal of 12 million euros, which was rejected by the Spanish team due to the proximity of the transfer window closing and Solis' importance to the squad. With the new season already underway, FC Porto is considering reopening the process.

Signed in 2023 from Atlético Nacional for six million euros, Solis has played in over 20 games in each of the two seasons he has spent in Spain and started as a starter in the current edition of La Liga, despite the home defeat to Rayo Vallecano (1-3).

If his arrival at the Dragon is confirmed, Farioli would gain another alternative for the intermediate sector, adding Solis to Gabri Veiga, Froholdt, Alan Varela, and Stephen Eustáquio. Vasco Sousa, Grujic, and Tomás Pérez continue without a defined future.

At the end of the victory in Barcelos, Farioli left open the possibility of eventual reinforcements: "As a club, we are open to situations and options that may arise in the last days (...) the priority, for me, is that the players are ready."

With André Villas-Boas promising the "biggest market in history", the numbers are already impressive: close to 90 million euros invested in nine reinforcements and a profit of around 75 million euros in departures, with players like Francisco Conceição, João Mário, and Gonçalo Borges leaving the club.
