Cup final loss, Eustáquio return plans, double signing

Cup final heartbreak

Your women's team fell 0–3 to Valadares in the Taça AF Porto final. A tough one, Valadares scored early and never let up. FC Porto, freshly crowned 2nd Division champions, couldn't find a way back (4).

Eustáquio: I want to return

Stephen Eustáquio wants to come back. The midfielder, currently on loan at LAFC, said plainly: "A ideia é voltar ao FC Porto." He has one year left on his contract. His MLS loan runs through the current season, then the plan is a return (2).

Double signing news

Two signings to know. Goalkeeper João Afonso is joining, Sporting wanted him too, but he picked your side (1). Plus, a player who previously impressed at Estádio do Dragão is heading your way. Details are thin, but he's earned the move with standout performances at your ground (3).

Fan-reaktioner

A subdued mood overall. The Eustáquio news landed well, fans see him as a genuine asset who still cares about the club. The cup final loss stings, but the focus is already on how these new signings fit into the squad puzzle. Join the discussion.
