Gonçalo Sousa and Iván Jaime have been focusing on the respective clubs to which they are loaned and can motivate, together, the entry of six million euros into the coffers of FC Porto. Gabriel Brás and Vonić live in a situation of affirmation, while Diogo Fernandes and Felipe Silva despair for minutes.

O FC Porto proved to be unstoppable in the championship, adding 11 wins in other days, which is worth the isolated leadership, after several moves in the squad that became national champion in 2025/26. The dragons promoted the departure of players who were not top-notch options for Francesco Farioli, while letting out by loan some of the young people who were on team B. The goal is to value players and eventual financial return, but a return to Invicta to be an option of the Italian technician is always on the table.
By this time, in the middle of the second break for the selections' commitments, FC Porto's SAD already looks at what might happen at the end of the season, also thinking about the possible fits that can be made. Of the six players given, only one has no purchase clause, while the other five can be purchased by their clubs at a previously defined price.
The scenario, for the moment, is not the best, but there are two particularly well-directed cases that together can be worth six million euros in the blue and white coffers next summer. Still, it all depends on how the season unfolds.
An old Spanish problem..
One of the most concerned by the direction led by André Villas-Boas is Ivan Jaime, player who was hired in 2023 for 10 million euros but who never managed to transport to the Dragon the qualities evidenced in the Famalicão. The Spanish player has been through successive loans, and last summer he returned to Spain through the Las Palmas gate, after having been in Canada for two years, serving FC Montreál, where physical problems prevented a definitive purchase.
So far, Iván Jaime has been in good shape, participating in 12 of the 14 games of the team that militates in the second Spanish echelon and accumulating a balance of two goals and other assists. He has been a holder since the end of September.
The agreement with FC Porto provides for a purchase option of EUR 3 million and if triggered, dragons retain 20% of a possible future transfer.
...and the kids looking for affirmation
On the same line lies Gonçalo Sousa, an extreme of 20 years that made the jump to Turkey, where he wears Kocaelispor's sweater. The young man who made his sights on Dragon Team B in the transatlantic season took part in 10 of the 11 days of the Turkish championship and has already accumulated two assists. As yet not exactly a figure, Gonçalo Sousa is making room in Kocaelispor and FC Porto already rubs its hands in the face of the three million in the purchase clause and has also secured 25% of a possible future sale.
In turn, Gabriel Brás, central defense given to the NEC, has experienced a more oscillating experience, alternating between the bench of alternates and ownership. Still, it already counts nine games serving the Netherlands as a whole in a total of 20 matches. In the last two games it was a starter and the NEC came out winner. The loan agreement with FC Porto has a purchase option valued at EUR 1.25 million and the dragons would have 50% of the added value in a possible future transfer.
Also in search of a statement is Leonardo Vonić, who moved to Moreirense at the closing market. The Croatian advance was recruited by FC Porto to Rot-Weiss Essen in January 2025, but never had an opportunity in the main team. However, the possibility of competing for the I League in Moreira de Canegos and Vonić has already scored a goal in seven games. At the end of the season it can be definitively purchased by the canons for EUR 1.25 million – FC Porto would have 30% of a future sale.
Much more complicated are the cases of Felipe Silva (Casa Pia) and Diogo Fernandes (Amarante) The Brazilian defense was only the game twice this season and by this time it is unlikely that geese will buy their pass by 1.5 million. Already the guardian of 21 years has been in the shadow of Didi in the II Liga, having deserved two opportunities in the Cup of Portugal, not avoiding the elimination before the Academic of Coimbra. In the latter case, FC Porto did not announce any purchase clause when it formalized the loan to Amarante.
Farioli attentive
In this way, the general panorama of the players who are provided by FC Porto is therefore quite diverse. The performance of all will continue to receive special attention from FC Porto's SAD, as well as Farioli, which may even promote re-fishing next summer.
