Benfica, Porto and Sporting in the race to sign Fábio Baldé | OneFootball

Fábio Baldé has been standing out in the service of Hamburg and is already starting to attract the attention of several European clubs, including Portugal’s big three. Benfica, Porto and Sporting are interested in the 20-year-old winger from the German club.

The Portugal youth international can play on either flank in attack and came through the entire youth system at the German club. According to Bild, one of the clubs even saw a bid rejected during the January transfer window.

Even so, injuries ended up affecting his regular use this season. The footballer has been trying to improve that aspect off the pitch, working specifically to reduce the risk of new physical problems. The player has been working with Yannick Lambrecht, an osteopath and physiotherapist at the German club, who also works with some ATP Tour tennis figures.

José Mourinho wants reinforcements with specific characteristics. The coach wants quicker players to bring a different intensity to the Reds. In terms of positions, the board is monitoring the market for several areas of the pitch. A centre-back and a winger are the priorities, but a goalkeeper, midfielder and striker are also being assessed. Kerim Alajbegoivc is another of the Eagles’ targets.

In the current season, Fábio Baldé - valued at €3 million - has made 14 appearances for Hamburg, registering one assist. His recent run was, however, interrupted by an injury between the end of January and the beginning of March, a period during which he was sidelined from competition.
