Leaves Benfica, joins FC Porto: “I was made to feel very welcome” | OneFootball

FC Porto confirmed this Wednesday the signing of a training contract with Francisco Mendes, a goalkeeper who is part of the under-19 team. At 16 years old, he began his career at Benfica, moved on to Belenenses, and joined the dragons at 13.

"It's a great source of pride to sign this contract with FC Porto. Now I want to continue to fight and work every day to, possibly, sign another contract in the future. I think I was able to show the effort, dedication, and work. Every day I give my all and I think that's what led me to sign this contract," he told the official media of the blue and white emblem.

"I thought it might be more complicated, but I was very well received at FC Porto and that made everything easier," he said about the move from Lisbon to Invicta. The goals are clear. "I would really like to win the championship this year and we will give everything to achieve it. Being a champion for FC Porto is a dream. In the future, I would like to sign a professional contract."
