William Gomes gears up for the new season at FC Porto | OneFootball

William Gomes made the most of his holiday in his hometown of Aracaju, in northeastern Brazil, but always with the new season in mind, which will begin with a completely different status from the one he had a year ago. Physical work during the holidays is essential for players, who left Olival with guidelines set by the coaching staff, but the winger made a point of training every day under the supervision of a sports performance specialist, Léo Alves. The fitness coach, with whom William has already been working for some time, even accompanied the winger, for example, on a trip to Paris during the longer break granted by Farioli in the October pause. “Progressive load, adjusted volume and intensity. Even on holiday, the athlete works,” Léo Alves wrote on social media on June 15, in a photo with William, highlighting a working process with the 20-year-old forward that has already been going on for a long time.

William had a breakthrough season and showed growth after a more difficult first few months in 2024/25. He was the team’s second-top scorer, with 13 goals – Samu ended the season with 20 – and goes into the new campaign more confident than ever. He has been linked with some transfer rumours, but the €80m release clause reassures the board on one hand, while William feels motivated at the Dragão on the other.
