Gabriel Pires was also one of the names that stirred up the Brazilian transfer market. According to reports, the midfielder who played for Benfica has switched clubs and will now play for Mirassol, where he will play alongside former Porto striker Tiquinho Soares.

According to official sources, the Brazilian midfielder, who represented the Clube da Luz between 2018 and 2021, arrived at the tail end of the Brazilian transfer window, after strong performances in the state championships, competitions that take place before the official start of the national tournaments in Brazil.

The announcement was made through Mirassol’s social media, which highlighted the importance of his signing, emphasizing that his experience will be fundamental for the club’s work in the 2026 sports season, where the canary team will compete on several fronts.

"Standout of the 2026 Paulistão for Portuguesa, the 32-year-old midfielder arrives at Mirassol to continue in the championships: Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil, and CONMEBOL Libertadores!", wrote the São Paulo club, announcing the arrival of 32-year-old Gabriel Pires.

It should be noted that the former Benfica number 8 was not the only player to shake up the Brazilian market. On deadline day, Santos officially announced the return of Lucas Veríssimo, a 30-year-old central defender who was at Luz between 2021 and 2023. He had been playing for Al Wakrah, in Qatar.
