After leaving Benfica, now signs for FC Porto: “I was given a warm welcome” | OneFootball

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

“It is a great source of pride to sign this contract with FC Porto. Now I want to keep fighting and working every day so that, possibly, I can sign another contract in the future. I think I have managed to show my effort, dedication, and hard work. Every day I give my best and I believe that’s what led me to sign this contract,” he said to the official media of the blue and white club.

“I thought it might be more complicated, but I was very well received at FC Porto and that ended up making 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. Becoming a champion with FC Porto is a dream. In the future, I would like to sign a professional contract.”
