The biggest soap operas of the Portuguese summer came to an end with the draws for European competitions, which determined the opponents of the Portuguese teams. This moment happened in the antechamber of a transfer market close that still promises various movements in the coming days.

The national teams learned their rivals in their respective European competitions, in a period that coincides with the final stretch of the transfer window. The draws brought matchups that will mark the start of the European season.

The Portuguese market remains active with several operations still being prepared or under consideration. Clubs and agents are racing against the clock to finalize deals before the transfer window closes.

The market close is approaching with several dossiers unresolved, including possible transfers of players who can still change clubs. The coming days will be decisive in defining the squads that will compete in European competitions.
