Official! Braga release ex-Sporting man after 90 games, now free | OneFootball

It’s official. Braga have announced the end of their association with Paulo Oliveira, who leaves the club after five seasons with the Minho side. The 34-year-old centre-back thus brings to a close a spell that began in 2021/22, when he arrived from Spanish club Eibar.

Over the years in Minho, the former Sporting player established himself as an influential presence in the dressing room, even wearing the captain’s armband on several occasions. In total, the defender made 165 appearances in Braga’s shirt and scored five goals.

During this period, the Portugal international was also part of a successful moment for the Minho side, being included in the squad that won the League Cup in the 2023/24 season. That triumph marked one of the highlights of his time at Braga.

Paulo Oliveira - valued at €400,000 - joined Sporting in 2014 from Vitória de Guimarães for €1.8 million. In three seasons at Alvalade, the defender made 90 appearances for the first team (four goals and one assist), winning one Portuguese Cup and one Super Cup.
