According to A Bola, FC Porto has announced the departure of Luuk de Jong. The club stated that after an atypical season disturbed by a serious knee injury suffered in December, the contract renewal option with the striker was not activated. A family issue also influenced the player's decision, although it was not as serious as was first thought. FC Porto wished Luuk de Jong success for the future. It is stated that Luuk de Jong is expected to return to his home country.

A Bola reports that Luuk de Jong is expected to leave FC Porto, and that a sign of this was him not avoiding tears during the farewell at the celebrations of the club's 31st title. A family issue is likely to lead him to return to the Netherlands. Both Francesco Farioli and the SAD Administration made efforts for Luuk de Jong to stay for another season, as was planned with an additional year option when he was signed, but the family issue seems to have changed the situation.

Luuk de Jong is considering his next move while facing a family issue and recovering from a ligament injury. A return to the Netherlands is a real possibility, and he is in demand in his home country. Such a move would create a vacancy in the Porto forward line. The 35-year-old Dutch international has 39 caps and 8 goals for his country. He joined Porto in August 2025, and his contract is set to expire on June 30, 2026. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €1.00m, and FC Twente has recently been linked with the centre-forward.
