Xavi Grande is a Spanish right-back who signed a contract with Académica until June 2028. The defender was linked to Marítimo, the club he helped reach promotion to the Portuguese Primeira Liga.
The Spanish player arrives in Coimbra to cover for the absence of Edson Farias, who leaves a void in the right-back position for the academic team.
This signing represents a market coup for Académica, who manage to secure a player with Primeira Liga experience and proven quality at the highest level of Portuguese football.
