João Afonso arrival leaves FC Porto with too many keepers | OneFootball

FC Porto confirmed this Monday the signing of João Afonso, a goalkeeper who stood out while playing for Santa Clara, where he even made his debut for the first team. The Invicta club now has five players for the A team’s goalkeeping department, although there do not seem to be places for everyone.

Diogo Costa and Cláudio Ramos were the goalkeepers included in Francesco Farioli’s plans, while João Costa has alternated between the first-team squad and the reserve side. Samuel Portugal is also part of FC Porto’s setup, as he has a contract valid until the summer of 2027.

The Brazilian goalkeeper was on loan at Al Akhdoud, where he made 27 appearances and conceded 61 goals. João Afonso will therefore have to fight for a place, and the possibility of him joining the B team, which plays in the Segunda Liga, cannot be ruled out.
