Porto head coach Francesco Farioli has confirmed the club has not yet decided whether to permanently sign Nigerian striker Terem Moffi. Moffi joined Porto on loan from French side OGC Nice in January, with an €8 million option to buy included in the deal. The 26-year-old has scored two goals in 10 league appearances since arriving at the Portuguese club. Moffi has expressed reluctance to return to Nice after being confronted by supporters at the club's training ground following a 3-1 loss to Lorient in December. Nice co-president Maurice Cohen has also stated the club does not intend to take Moffi back. Farioli acknowledged the situation, saying both parties appear inclined to part ways. "It is clear that both parties want to separate. We have an option to buy; we will see what happens after both sides have heard from each other and presented new conditions," he said, as reported by Bola na Rede.
Terem Moffi's uncertain future at Porto stems from a breakdown in relations with Nice, not his performance, as shown by his two goals in 10 league appearances. The club's hesitation to trigger the €8 million clause suggests caution despite the option being in place since January. With Nice ruling out his return and Porto yet to commit, Moffi remains in limbo between two clubs that seem equally unwilling to claim him.
