FC Porto have registered 18-year-old Brazilian midfielder Ryan Gobbi as the September transfer window closed. The young player arrives at the Portuguese club from Coimbra Sports, a team from Minas Gerais with which Porto has a youth development partnership. The registrations were processed by Liga Portugal on Tuesday night.
The Dragons lead the Primeira Liga with 12 points from four wins in four games and prepare to visit Casa Pia next weekend. Having scored nine goals and conceded none, the team holds a two-point lead over Sporting CP at the top of the table.
Ryan Gobbi is an 18-year-old Brazilian midfielder who moved to FC Porto from Coimbra Sports. His registration was one of 47 validated by Liga Portugal during the market's closing period. The deal strengthens ties between the two entities, as the Portuguese club has an established partnership with the Brazilian side for developing young talent. Gobbi will now join the under-23 or B team squad, depending on the technical staff's assessment.
Between 6 PM and 9 PM on Tuesday, Liga Portugal processed twelve registrations, adding to 35 previously announced. Estrela da Amadora registered two 18-year-olds: South Korean Siwoo Yang, from Fortuna Düsseldorf B, and Montenegrin Vuk Pavicevic, previously with OFK Grbalj. Alverca made official the loan of Matheus França from Crystal Palace.
At other top-flight clubs, Rio Ave registered Colombian defender Simón García from Atlético Nacional, and Arouca registered Leo Shahar on loan from Newcastle. Famalicão promoted Jonas Ferreira from their under-23 squad to the first team. Five additional requests came from II Liga clubs, including two from Felgueiras and one each from Torreense, Farense, and Tondela. The league promised to release the final update with contracts received between 9 PM and midnight "as soon as possible" after the market closed.
FC Porto approaches the next league matchday with the confidence of an unbeaten defence and a productive attack. The team visits 18th-placed Casa Pia on September 12th.

The squad, which now includes Gobbi, continues to be built for the long season, and details on all players are available on the squad page.
The registration of Ryan Gobbi represents an investment in the future, aligned with Porto's policy of recruiting young prospects. His integration will be closely monitored in the coming training sessions and matches for the youth teams. The first team's next official fixture is scheduled for Saturday against Casa Pia at the Estádio Pina Manique.
