Ricardo Brandão: “I’m a Dragon, keen to win and help the club” | OneFootball

After extending his contract until 2029, Ricardo Brandão admitted that it is “very special” to know he will continue wearing the Dragon on his chest, especially because FC Porto “is the Club of the heart” of the 21-year-old.

The Portuguese international pivot believes he has “grown a lot” in the service of the Dragons and, for now, is only thinking about “winning every game” still left to play in 2025/26. Even so, there are still goals to achieve: “I want to establish myself even more at FC Porto and win a title with this badge on my chest.” To the fans, he made the promise to “give everything and the best of myself to help the Club.”

The renewal“It is very special for me to renew with FC Porto, which is the Club of my heart. It is very special.”

Improving year after year“I think I have grown a lot over the time I have been at FC Porto. Last season was better than the previous one and my goal is to keep improving more and more here at the Club. The last two seasons were very important for me.”

A Dragon who only thinks about winning“I am the same Dragon I was when I arrived at FC Porto. I am a Dragon with the desire to win and to help the Club as much as possible.”

Better on both sides of the court“I feel that I have grown in several aspects, both offensively and in knowing how to handle myself on big stages. Defensively, I also feel that I have grown.”

Call-ups to the national team“My work at FC Porto helped me reach the national team and be able to take part in the last three competitions I played in. Doing well at FC Porto helped me a lot.”

Expectations for what remains of 2025/26“Our goal is to win every game and do our best.”

Dreams still to fulfill“I want to establish myself even more at FC Porto and win a title with this badge on my chest.”

The best memories wearing the Dragon on my chest“I have many, but I remember when I became champion for the first time at Águas Santas and I also remember my debut. There have been many good moments here.”

A pivot like captain Daymaro Salina“It is very good, he has helped me a lot to improve. He gives me a lot of feedback. Both Victor [Iturriza] and Daymaro [Salina] have helped me a lot in various aspects.”
