Gabriel Veron returns to FC Porto, but another exit beckons | OneFootball

Gabriel Veron has officially returned to FC Porto after an underwhelming loan spell at Nacional. During the second half of the 2025/26 season, the forward featured in 13 matches and scored just one goal, but everything suggests he is unlikely to remain at the Estádio do Dragão.

According to Brazilian TV channel ESPN this Sunday, the 24-year-old player has attracted interest from several clubs in markets where the transfer window is still open. Among them are FC Tokyo and Vissel Kobe from Japan, both of whom are said to have expressed interest in signing him.

Remo, currently 19th and second from bottom in the Brasileirão, have also reportedly made enquiries about the forward. However, Gabriel Veron is said not to be interested in that option, as he does not intend to return to his home country.

While waiting for a solution for his future, the footballer, whose contract runs until 30 June 2027, was registered in Liga Portugal by the board led by André Villas-Boas. As such, he could, as a last resort, be used by Francesco Farioli.

Even so, that possibility seems unlikely. For now, the Assu-born player, from the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte, has been training with the B team, coached by João Brandão, in an effort to maintain his competitive sharpness.

Last Saturday, Gabriel Veron was even included in the squad for the fifth-round match in the second tier of Portuguese football against Tondela. The Dragons lost 3-0 at the Estádio João Cardoso, with goals from Arjen van der Heide, Tomané and João Marcos, but the forward remained on the bench.
