FC Porto put three under-23s in CIES top 25 for summer market | OneFootball

With the summer transfer window approaching, Europe’s biggest clubs are keeping a close eye on emerging young talents and, in that context, Portuguese football, with FC Porto standing out in particular, once again has several names in the spotlight among the youngest players. CIES – Football Observatory released the list of the 100 under-23 players, outside the UEFA top 10 clubs, with the potential to generate big-money transfers in the coming months and, in Liga Portugal, there are several cases worth following closely.

The Dragons have the highest-rated player in this analysis, 20-year-old Victor Froholdt, who sits in 5th place on a list led by Kenan Yildiz (Juventus), Pio Esposito (Inter) and Yan Diomandé (RB Leipzig). According to the statistical model, which includes several variables, the FC Porto Dane could be linked with a transfer estimated at €80.3 million.

Still in the Primeira Liga and at the Dragão, another highlight is the valuation of Samu, estimated at €71.6 million, although in this case, due to the striker’s serious injury, any possible transfer will most likely have to wait until another time. On the same list, the Dragons also place another name in the Top 25, Rodrigo Mora, whose move could be completed, according to the CIES report, for around €60.5 million.

Bringing this potential list of targets for 10 of Europe’s leading clubs to a close — Arsenal, At. Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, PSG and Real Madrid — Oskar Pietuszewski appears, somewhat surprisingly. Signed by the Dragons in January for €8 million, plus two add-ons, the CIES projection already points to a market valuation of €31.9 million.
