Samuel Portugal, who cost FC Porto 4 million euros, has never debuted for the club. He has interest both domestically and internationally and is expected to leave despite having a contract until 2027.

Samuel Portugal is unhappy with his current status as a backup goalkeeper at FC Porto and has not played any minutes since his transfer from Portimonense. He is looking for opportunities to play elsewhere. There are clubs in the Liga and from his native country interested in him. The club is considering a loan with an option to buy due to financial difficulties.
