FC Porto could use 2026 World Cup buzz to sell Stephen Eustáquio | OneFootball

FC Porto are keeping Stephen Eustáquio on their books, as the midfielder’s loan spell at Los Angeles FC has come to an end and the purchase option clause was ultimately not triggered. The Canada international could therefore gain visibility at the 2026 World Cup, which may open the door to a sale in the summer transfer window.

The player was used by Jesse Marsch for the full 90 minutes in the North Americans’ first two matches, taking on an essential role in midfield. Stephen Eustáquio is 29 years old and, while at Los Angeles FC, made 14 appearances, scored one goal and provided one assist.

In the first half of the season, he represented the Dragons and was also a regular pick for Francesco Farioli, making 16 appearances. The midfielder’s contract runs until 2027, and this is FC Porto’s last opportunity to bring in some fee for Stephen Eustáquio. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is six million euros.
