Young talent Rodrigo Teixeira signs professional contract | OneFootball

Rodrigo Teixeira signed his first professional contract, extending the bond he has with FC Porto since 2023. This season, the 16-year-old defender has played 19 matches and scored one goal for the under-17 team.

The left-footed center-back began his training at Dragon Force, went through Boavista FC, and joined FC Porto at the age of 13. Since then, he feels he has grown “as a person and as a player” and has started “seeing things differently and with a winner's perspective.”

“Honored to sign this contract with such a grand Club as FC Porto,” says the young Portuguese international, who does not hide the “pride in seeing the work recognized” and adds: “This is just the beginning, there is much more to come.”

Winning mentality“I have grown a lot since I arrived here. FC Porto has helped me grow as a person and as a player. I started seeing things differently, with a winner's perspective, because that is what this Club accustoms us to.”

Best memories“The times I have spent with my teammates, from training to the games we won, those will always be the best moments we have lived here.”

Set goals“Our goal is to be as consistent as possible. We are in first place, the goal is to continue like this and concede as few goals as possible.”
