Veron shines for FC Porto B and earns another chance | OneFootball

Out of FC Porto’s first-team plans for several seasons now, Gabriel Veron was once again deemed surplus to requirements during the summer transfer window. Unable to secure a move, the Brazilian forward, who is under contract with the Dragons until the end of the season, chose to keep working.

The 24-year-old joined the B team and looked to establish himself under João Brandão. His effort was recognized in the reserve side’s most recent match: in the 2-2 draw against Vizela, on matchday 6 of Liga 2, Veron came on in the 62nd minute.

At the end of the match, the B-team coach explained the Brazilian’s involvement, even though his continuation in blue and white had seemed unlikely. “He has shown a very correct attitude and clearly deserved the opportunity to come into the game. Since he arrived, he has worked to regain his physical condition,” João Brandão assured.

Veron’s daily commitment at the CTFD Jorge Costa has allowed him to regain ground in FC Porto B’s options. The former Palmeiras player has also stood out physically and was internally identified as the player with the best body composition in the reserve squad. The forward feels motivated and focused on contributing to the team in Liga 2.

With most transfer windows already closed, the United Arab Emirates stands out as the main exception, with its window ending on September 28. Even so, the most likely scenario is that the Brazil youth international will remain at the Dragão, at least until January. Porto’s SAD is only willing to consider a significant offer, so as to avoid impairment losses.

Gabriel Veron joined FC Porto in the summer of 2022 from Palmeiras, carrying the status of one of the Brazilian club’s brightest prospects. The transfer was worth just over €10 million, but the player failed to live up to expectations: he made 26 appearances for the first team and scored one goal. Loan spells at Cruzeiro, Santos, Juventude and Nacional followed, but he was unable to establish himself. Now, he is looking to relaunch his career with a fresh start.
