These days, there are very few transfers about which we hear the official news for the first time from the club itself. However, it is still possible to deceive everyone, as done by Porto.

Before the friendly match between Porto and Atletico, the local audience was introduced to the team's newcomer Luuk de Jong, who is expected to become a backup forward.

No one had any idea about this transfer.

According to the O Jogo newspaper, before making this transfer official, L. de Jong underwent a medical examination. However, the Dutchman was registered for the examination as a handball player.

This way, the information did not leak to journalists, and only the Porto club's officials were aware of this surprise.
