Former Atl�tico de Madrid forward, 20, signs until 2029.
Samu Omorodion is FC Porto's first signing for the 2024/25 season. Having just become an Olympic champion with the Spanish national team, the 20-year-old striker moves from Madrid to Porto and from Atl�tico to FC Porto for �15 million for 50% of his economic rights. He signs a contract valid for five seasons, until 2029, with a release clause of �100 million and two non-mandatory purchase options of an additional 15% for �5 million each.
"It is an honor to be part of a club with FC Porto's enormous history. I know the responsibility that comes with playing here, where strikers like Gomes, Jardel, Falcao, and Jackson Mart�nez have played, but I know I'm ready," declared the new number 9 in his first statements in blue and white.
Born to Nigerian parents and a native of Melilla, a Spanish enclave in North Africa, Samuel Omorodion Aghehowa moved to Seville during his childhood and started playing football at the AD Nervi�n youth academy before joining Granada's youth ranks. Always moving up the ranks, he scored 18 goals in 33 games for Granada's B team, catching the eye of a capital giant.
Atleti paid a small fortune to acquire him from Granada last summer, loaned him to Alav�s, and the 1.93-meter, 90-kilogram athlete continued to impress in the Basque Country, scoring eight goals and providing one assist in the 34 La Liga matches he played.
