Gabriel Brás left FC Porto and traveled this Tuesday to the Netherlands, where he will play for NEC Nijmegen, an Eredivisie club.
The 22-year-old Portuguese centre-back will join the Dutch side on loan from the Dragons, who will hold an option to buy 50% of the player’s economic rights for €1.25 million. The loan will cost €100,000.
Also known as Gabi, the young under-21 international is set for his first professional spell abroad after four seasons with FC Porto’s B team.
The Olival academy graduate arrived in the Netherlands late this Tuesday morning and, during the evening, will watch from the stands the match between NEC and Olympiakos, the second leg of the third Champions League qualifying round. If his new team gets through the tie and keeps its European run going, Gabriel Brás could still have the chance to play in Europe’s millionaire competition in 2026/27.
On Monday, the centre-back was already left out of the matchday squad for the clash between Lusitânia de Lourosa and FC Porto B, as the transfer agreement had already been reached.
