João Lopes signs pro deal at FC Porto, names Vitinha role model | OneFootball

João Lopes, who turns 16 this Friday, has signed his first professional contract with FC Porto. The midfielder, who has already spent three seasons at the blue-and-white club, is a Portugal youth international and does not hide his ambition to reach the highest level in service of the team.

“I believe my development has been very good. The first year is always difficult and in the second I unfortunately suffered an injury, but that made me want it more, work harder and improve more. Last season was very positive and now the focus is on the next one. My dream is to make my debut for FC Porto’s first team,” said João Lopes, who did not hesitate to point to his biggest role model.

“It’s Vitinha. He has a style of play similar to mine and I really enjoy watching him play,” he said.
