William Gomes revs 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 been working for some time, even accompanied the winger, for example, on a trip to Paris during the longer break granted by Farioli during the October stoppage. “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 clear growth after a more difficult first few months in 2024/25. He was the team’s second-top scorer with 13 goals — Samu finished the season with 20 — and goes into the new campaign more confident than ever. He has been linked with some transfer rumours, but the €80 million release clause reassures the club’s board on the one hand, while William feels motivated at the Dragão on the other.
