FC Porto: Dominik Prpic is looking forward to his second season with FC Porto, with the same expectations as the previous one, marked by the club's national championship win. The Croatian defender has a sense that the learning curve is still in progress and is receptive to improving technical and tactical aspects to elevate his football and approach the level of Bednarek, Nehuén Pérez, and Kiwior. In a year of return to the Champions League, FC Porto does not project to make changes to this quartet, unless the market forces SAD to do so, which would require the arrival of an irrecusable proposal. As there are no signs that this will happen in the summer, the center of defense is closed and, in this sense, the partnership between Bednarek and Kiwior will be the defensive base of FC Porto's start in 2026/27, with Nehuén Pérez in the permanent shadow of this duo. Solid as a rock in the Croatian under-21s, where he gains more and more prominence, Prpic may have more space when Farioli promotes the rotation that was the origin of a nearly flawless FC Porto in terms of physicality in the past season, but the title will continue to be a tortuous path. The pressure of winning the title kept the best players in the starting lineup and the plan will not change. Farioli wants to expand it to other internal competitions that were almost secondary compared to the League, such as the Taça de Portugal and the Taça da Liga. Nevertheless, with the Champions League calling part of the team's energy, Prpic will have minutes and room to grow, quietly preparing his development in the Olival. The Croatian has played 12 official games for FC Porto, distributed by championship, Taça de Portugal, Taça da Liga, and Liga Europa.
