Al Akhdoud decide today on Samuel Portugal: €1.7m or Porto return | OneFootball

Al Akhdoud has until the end of this Monday to decide whether to move forward with the permanent signing of Samuel Portugal. The goalkeeper’s purchase option clause is set at €1.7 million.

If the Saudi club does not activate that option within the set deadline, the player will return to FC Porto, the club with which he remains under contract. As such, the goalkeeper’s future depends on Al Akhdoud’s final decision in the coming hours.

Samuel Portugal was on loan at the Saudi Arabian club, and the process is now entering a decisive phase, at a time when FC Porto are still finalising the squad for the new season. The outcome could have a direct impact on the team’s planning for 2026/27, especially regarding the goalkeeping options.

For now, the situation remains open: a permanent stay at Al Akhdoud, upon payment of the agreed amount, or a return to the Dragão at the end of the loan spell.

At FC Porto, led by André Villas-Boas as president and with Francesco Farioli in charge of the first-team football side, this matter will be monitored until the end of the established deadline.
