FC Porto set to lose 3 centre-backs | OneFootball

FC Porto are preparing to part ways with three centre-backs from their squad. According to the newspaper A Bola, António Ribeiro, Gabriel Brás and Felipe Silva are on their way out of the Dragons, having spent most of last season with the B team. António Ribeiro’s case is the most straightforward.

The defender’s contract is coming to an end and he will not renew, after making just nine appearances for FC Porto B in 2025/26, without scoring any goals. Gabriel Brás, meanwhile, is expected to leave on loan, at a time when he is seen as an asset with potential for the future.

Last season, the young centre-back featured in 30 matches, scored one goal and provided two assists. Felipe Silva is under contract until 2029, but the Dragons want to sell him for a fee that will still be below his €20 million release clause. The 24-year-old Brazilian arrived in Portugal through Gil Vicente and moved to the Dragão in 2024.

Last season, he played 32 matches, scored one goal and registered one assist for FC Porto B, a record that was not enough to catch the attention of Francesco Farioli.
