Porto is reshuffling its defense, with Tiago Ferreira returning to the club after seven years of connection to it. The bet is to give the defender a reference role, helping to develop young players in the transition from training to professional football.

Who's in and who's out?

Gabriel Brás, who has a contract with Porto until 2028, may be loaned to a first-division club to gain more competitive experience.

What does this mean for Porto?

The departure of Felipe Silva is also on the table, as reported by A BOLA. The 24-year-old Brazilian central defender was the most used player in the secondary formation in 2025/26.
