FC Porto’s third consecutive victory in the 2023/2024 League had the power to put an end to the silence of the FC Porto technical team, which entered into blackout since the episode of the Super Cup that led to the punishment that is being carried out by Sérgio Conceição, and which once again led assistant Vítor Bruno to take over the team from the bench.

At the end of the game, Vítor Bruno appeared in the Sport TV quick interview area to answer just one question, with which he analyzed the victory suffered by the dragons, who remain at the top of the standings, along with Sporting and V. Guimarães .

«It was a game that we already expected with a high level of difficulty, even for what had happened last season, against a formation with a technical team that assembles the team well, and that today opted for a tactical-strategic disguise, with one more man in the midfield, but our team was smart, knew how to identify the spaces and we had a lot of offensive volume. If the field had 80 or 90 meters we would be winning by 3 or 4 at half-time », he began by saying, without stopping:

«The result at half-time was clearly unfair for the first half, the second half opens with the only shot taken by Rio Ave, which results in a goal [na sequência de penálti cometido por Galeno no lance em que o Rio Ave atirou ao poste], and then we began to understand the intentions from a strategic point of view and with the changes – those who joined added a lot and this is also the secret of our team – we knew how to deal with adversity, which almost allows us to generate a mechanism to succeed when we are in this context. It happened in Moreira [de Cónegos] and with Farense. We won, we won well, with suffering, it is undeniable, but the victory is clearly deserved, no one can question it.”

Progress has been made in negotiations between FC Porto and Famalicão with a view to permanently hiring Iván Jaime.

Porto’s SAD has been very active in this dossier, seeking to minimize the important loss of Otávio, who could not resist the millions of Arabs from Al Nassr.

FC Porto offers Iván Jaime a five-year contract (until 2028) and the player is looking forward to moving to Dragão, where he will have the possibility of fulfilling an old dream, playing in the Champions League. Despite the fact that the two clubs still do not have a total agreement, the parties are approaching and the fact that the player is putting pressure on Miguel Ribeiro to let him leave for a bigger club, as he always aspired to when he left Malaga for Famalicão .

Sérgio Conceição is confident that SAD will manage to close this deal, which undoubtedly adds great value to the squad, since Iván Jaime, considered the best young player in the last edition of the League, in a poll carried out by the coaches and captains of all 18 clubs in the championship, he will be able to play on the left wing, looking for more central areas, or as a second striker or even number 10.

Pinto da Costa, Luís Gonçalves and Vítor Baía, the top of professional football for the blue and whites, is therefore making every effort to close this portfolio as soon as possible, but it is never easy to do business with Miguel Ribeiro, who defends the emblem it represents down to the smallest detail.

Iván Jaime counts the days and hours to become a dragon and there is still the possibility that when signing until 2028 he can keep jersey number 10, which is free and is his number in Famalicão.

Fans are anxious and ask the Spanish player on their social networks to accept FC Porto.

Geny Catamo, 22, signed a professional contract with Sporting in September 2020 after spending the 2019/2020 season at the Academy on loan from Amora, from Liga 3, and is now preparing to renew his contract with the lions , changing almost all of its main items, from duration to salary and, perhaps, the value of the termination clause, for now at the €45M threshold.

This will be a step taken by Sporting’s SAD administration after the definitive purchase of 75 percent of the player’s pass that is still in Amora’s possession, in an operation that will cost 600 thousand euros – subsequently, the Amorenses will have to deliver 80 percent of this funds (510,000 euros) to the Black Bulls Academy, in Mozambique, where the player completed the final stretch of his training, after having emerged in the popular Maxaquene, where he was known as Messi.

The owner of the Black Bulls academy, Juneide Lalgy, in statements to A BOLA, harshly criticized the way in which this agreement between Sporting and Amora was drawn up, adding that it was clearly «inclined towards one of the grantors».

However, the definitive purchase of the pass for the lions’ revelation player so far, which will have to happen by the end of September, has nothing to do with the renewal, a process that will be led by Promosport, the company that entered the field after Geny went to Sporting and which in Portugal is led by FIFA agents André Carriço and João Gonçalves.

Order, direction and clause

But, returning to the renewal dossier, Catamo will see his salary substantially increased, he who, despite the delivery of performance bonuses for a batch of matches played in a minimum of 45 minutes, is one of the lowest paid in the squad led by Rúben Amorim.

The release clause, taking into account that it is a pure winger adapted to the right wing, should also rise from the current €45 M to €60 M, similar to what happens on the left flank, in the case of Nuno Santos – following the leonine policy of placing higher termination clauses on footballers who perform more offensive tasks, with the exception, taking into account the qualitative levels displayed, Diomande, who has an indemnity clause of €80M, he who cost the SAD coffers €7, 5M, to which you can add another €5M in bonuses.
After loans to V. Guimarães and Marítimo, Geny Catamo is a strong bet this year for Rúben Amorim, so the extension of his bond, for now only valid until 2025, should also be increased.

The business is in the hands of Jorge Mendes, Zaidu’s agent, and he has the legs to move forward. The left-back of the dragons is in the sights of Nottingham Forest, which, A BOLA found, advanced with a proposal for the acquisition of the economic rights of the 26-year-old Nigerian international, which reaches a global value of around 15 million euros.

The under-21 international Nuno Tavares was another of the names that were in the sights of Nottingham Forest, who dropped that possibility to put all the chips in the FC Porto defender, who is serving his fourth season at Dragão.

With the Brazilian Wendell also an option for the post, the departure of Zaidu, if it materializes, will allow to untie the knot in another operation that has long been publicized in Porto and which will involve the hiring of Bruno Onyemaechi, a 24-year-old Nigerian international from the Boavista, whose name has been in the dragons’ orbit for many weeks.

Onyemaechi will, by all indications, be Zaidu’s successor in the squad under Sérgio Conceição’s orders.

With the market accelerating towards closure, FC Porto reactivated Iván Jaime, the Spanish midfielder from Famalicão who has been booked by the dragons since May.

Pepê is an immediate solution to replace Otávio, transferred to Al Nassr, but the midfield needs another creative unit and Iván Jaime’s profile fits the needs, although he still has to be worked on in some aspects of the game, one of which is Defensive reaction to loss of the ball. But these are issues of a different nature, to be sorted out in training.

What matters to keep in mind is that the Spaniard will indeed leave Famalicão and the FC Porto route will open again in force, with hints of a contract valid for five seasons, but still negotiating issues to settle with the Famalicenses.

Iván Jaime appeared smiling in the Famalicão pre-season, but that smile quickly faded when he learned that SAD intended to negotiate his pass for values ​​around 10/12 million euros. Much more than the 5/6 million euros projected before the player ended the season as the best young footballer in the League, voted by captains and coaches of the 18 teams in the league.

To lower these demands, FC Porto proposes that Famalicão retain part of the economic rights, opening up the possibility of also receiving players from the blue and white teams. One of the names that seems to please Famalicão is Abraham Marcus, a 23-year-old striker, but André Franco is also in high demand.

Malaga is an interested party, as it has 25 percent of the pass. If the move to FC Porto does not materialize, the possibility of Iván Jaime heading to Valencia to have a showcase in La Liga is not ruled out. The Ché club does not have the financial means to buy the midfielder and has already made an advance for a simple loan, proposing to pay only the footballer’s wages. Valencia believes that at the close of the market they can exploit the uncertainty regarding the player’s future.

But Iván Jaime wants to play in the Champions League and FC Porto and will wait for the blue and whites to advance. It’s what he’s been doing since the season opened: afraid of contracting an injury that in the past took away his dream of taking the jump, the midfielder has not been called up by João Pedro Sousa. The coach referred the matter to SAD and the latter, in turn, understands that until the market closes, it is not a bad idea to protect such a valuable asset.

The midfielder’s performances in the two semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup – in particular the one he played at Estádio do Dragão, in which he scored a beautiful goal for Cláudio Ramos, dispelled any doubts regarding his enormous potential. A diamond in the rough for Sérgio Conceição, whose talent can take him to higher heights.
