Partnership with Brazilian club secures youth-team signing | OneFootball

Ryan Gobbi, an 18-year-old Brazilian forward, has joined FC Porto’s under-19 squad, the club announced this Friday.

The attacker had already been registered in Liga Portugal before the transfer window closed and arrives from Coimbra FC Porto, having signed a youth development contract. His move to the Dragons came after being selected for the Elite Dragons program — created under the strategic partnership between FC Porto and the Brazilian club — and taking part in a training plan with the youth teams.

After fulfilling “the childhood dream of representing a major European club,” Ryan Gobbi says he is arriving at the Dragão “to help the team and keep developing.”

“I’m a player who always has his eyes on the opposition goal, good in one-on-one situations and always looking to take on defenders,” explained the forward, who names William Gomes as a reference and Neymar as his idol.

Born in 2008, Gobbi may also be used by FC Porto’s B team, should the club see fit.
