Francesco Farioli, FC Porto's coach, expressed total concentration on the team's next game against Académico de Viseu, scheduled for the fourth round of the Primeira Liga football championship. The Italian coach intends to keep the focus exclusively on the competition, steering clear of any distraction related to the transfer period that takes place on these dates.

The game against Académico de Viseu represents the fourth round of the Portuguese league, placing the Porto side at an early stage of the season. Farioli demonstrated a preference for focusing on sporting performance rather than engaging in market speculation.

The transfer market, whose deadline is approaching, has generated agitation around various clubs, but FC Porto's coach maintains his stance of avoiding comments on possible movements. This approach reflects his intention to preserve the squad's stability and the team's preparation for the competitive challenges ahead.

Squad difficulties mark the start of SC Silvalde's season

SC Silvalde prepares for the 2026/2027 season under the command of José Resende, but faces serious difficulties completing the squad, needing five to six signings after four players quit. President José Saxe criticizes the lack of commitment from younger athletes, while the club also faces problems in the youth divisions. Despite a turbulent past season — marked by the death of a player, coaching changes, and facility problems — Silvalde reached the final of the Complementary Cup.
