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

Gabriel Veron has officially returned to FC Porto following an unsuccessful loan spell at Nacional. During the second half of the 2025/26 season, the forward played 13 matches and scored just one goal, but all signs suggest he is unlikely to remain at the Estádio do Dragão.

According to Brazilian TV network ESPN on Sunday, the 24-year-old has attracted interest from several clubs in markets where the transfer window is still open. Among them are Japan’s FC Tokyo and Vissel Kobe, 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 an approach for the forward. However, Gabriel Veron is said not to have been interested in that possibility, as he does not want to return to his home country.

While awaiting a solution for his future, the footballer, who is under contract 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 scenario 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 rhythm.

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 Estádio João Cardoso, with goals from Arjen van der Heide, Tomané and João Marcos, but the forward remained on the bench.
