"Porto" tried to prevent the premature spread of transfer information by secretly organizing Luuk de Jong's medical examination.
İdman.biz reports that the former Sevilla and Barcelona striker joined the Portuguese club as a free agent after leaving PSV.
"Porto" officially announced his transfer on Sunday, and the player's presentation also took place on the same day.
According to "O Jogo", "Porto" started negotiations with de Jong a week before the official announcement. The club decided to keep the work on this transfer secret at the highest level. To reduce the risk of information leaks, de Jong's medical examination was conducted as if he were a new player for the handball team. In addition, the striker's luggage at the airport was picked up by his agent.
It is noted that only the club's management was aware of this transfer until just an hour before de Jong's presentation as a "Porto" player.
