Portugal was the next destination of the gifted man. He signed a 5-year contract joining Porto. The Portuguese side had to cash out paying €5.5 million to have the player in their squad. Radamel made a huge progress playing for the Portuguese club. During his stay at Porto he won the Europa League cup of 2010/11 breaking an old record of the tournament’s best striker.

Nevertheless Atlético Madrid was more persistent in their effort than other clubs who wanted to sign him. They were awarded for their effort during the very first season of his performance for ‘Los Colchoneros’. Radamel hit the back of the net of Athletic’s rivals 36 times in 42 games thus breaking the club’s record: he scored more than an.yone else during the first season for Atlético Madrid. Also he managed to accomplish a task of bringing a trophy to the club’s hall of fame as Atlético won the UEFA Europa League cup that season leaving behind Athletic Bilbao in the final match.
