Gabriel Veron has been registered by FC Porto for the new Primeira Liga season, taking the number 97 shirt. The information is listed on the official website of the body responsible for professional football in Portugal, confirming the player's formal registration.
The 23-year-old Brazilian winger spent the second half of the 2025/26 season on loan at Nacional. For the Madeiran side, he made 13 appearances and scored one goal. Previously, the player also had loan spells at Cruzeiro, Santos, and Juventude in his home country.
Gabriel Veron is under contract with the Dragons until June 2027. However, he is not part of the manager's sporting plans for the current campaign. The club's expectation is that the player will leave on a permanent transfer during this window, allowing him to find regular playing time elsewhere.
The registration with the number 97 shirt serves as a bureaucratic requirement so the athlete can be selected if needed while he awaits a solution for his future. Porto's board continues to work on finding an outcome that benefits all parties.
Veron's return to FC Porto comes after a series of loan experiences that began in 2024. His last stint with the club was in the 2023/24 season, where he had limited opportunities. Managing his situation is now a priority to free up salary and sporting space in the squad, which is preparing for the challenges of Liga Portugal and European competitions. The full schedule of these commitments is available on our fixtures page.
The decision to register him ensures that, in case of unforeseen circumstances, the manager has all legal options at his disposal. However, the clear intention is for the player to be transferred permanently before the market closes. The process is being handled by the club's football department, which is in talks with several interested parties.
