Farioli eyes the squad, four FC Porto youngsters push for 2026/27 | OneFootball

FC Porto are already preparing for next season, although Francesco Farioli and the squad remain focused on winning the Primeira Liga and the Portuguese Cup, as well as making a strong impression in the Europa League, a competition in which they are also seen as contenders for the title.

The coach has called several youngsters up to the first team and there are a few prospects hoping to convince him to include them, at the very least, in pre-season. One such case is André Miranda, an 18-year-old winger who has already made his debut in the first-team shirt.

Across all competitions, the player has made 31 appearances, scoring eight goals and providing four assists, mainly featuring for the B team. Another standout name at that level is Gabriel Brás, seen as a Dragão pearl, who has also already worked with the first-team squad.

However, unlike André Miranda, the 22-year-old centre-back has not yet made his senior debut. This season, he has registered 24 appearances, with one goal and two assists. Slightly further forward on the pitch is João Teixeira, a 19-year-old midfielder who also works under João Brandão.

The Portugal youth international has made 25 appearances, scored two goals and provided two assists. Francesco Farioli praised the player in recent months. Lastly, Gonçalo Sousa is also hoping to work with the first team, at least during pre-season.

The 19-year-old plays as a winger and second striker, and was included in the squad for the match against Stuttgart. Across all competitions, including some appearances for the youth team, he has recorded 31 matches, five goals and four assists.
