Gabriel Brás joins NEC until the end of the season | OneFootball

Gabriel Brás was officially announced this Thursday as a new NEC player, a club that competes in the top tier of Dutch football, as zerozero had already reported. The centre-back joins the Dutch side on loan from FC Porto, in a deal valid until the end of the season.

The temporary move of the B team captain guarantees 100 thousand euros for the Dragons. The agreement also includes a purchase option: the Nijmegen side may acquire 50 percent of the player’s economic rights upon payment of 1.25 million euros, as our portal had previously reported.

The young centre-back will therefore continue his career in the Eredivisie with the surprise team of the 2025/26 season. NEC finished the league in third place and is currently fighting for a place in the Champions League, after knocking out Olympiacos and securing a spot in the playoff.

For now, Gabriel Brás is the only Portuguese player in the squad. The defender is temporarily leaving FC Porto, the club he was tied to for nine seasons and where he progressed through several youth levels.

Although he never played for the Dragons first team, the Portugal youth international was one of the captains of FC Porto’s B team.
