**Headline: Surprise Move! Luuk de Jong Joins FC Porto in Shock Transfer**
**Porto, Portugal –** In a stunning turn of events, Dutch striker Luuk de Jong has signed with FC Porto. The 34-year-old was unveiled to a packed Estádio Do Dragão on Sunday evening, sending shockwaves through the football world. Porto teasingly announced the signing with the quote “‘Are you not entertained?'”
De Jong, who was a free agent after his contract with PSV Eindhoven expired this summer, had been linked with several clubs, including Al Ettifaq, Fiorentina, and Sevilla. However, he has chosen to join the Portuguese giants and will be working under former Ajax coach Francesco Farioli.
He will wear the number 26 jersey. The length of De Jong’s contract has not been disclosed.
The timing of the announcement was particularly noteworthy, as it coincided with PSV’s Johan Cruijff Schaal match against Go Ahead Eagles. This move effectively ends any speculation of a return to PSV for De Jong. PSV manager Peter Bosz had reportedly already moved on, and the club had reinforced its attack with the arrival of Alassane Pléa. De Jong spent eight seasons with PSV, scoring 186 goals and assisting 98.
De Jong is Farioli’s eighth summer signing for FC Porto. The club had previously shown interest in Ajax midfielder Kenneth Taylor, but that interest cooled down.
