Stephen Eustáquio leaving Porto?
After the Copa América, Canada's coach Jesse Marsch suggested to Stephen Eustáquio that he should consider a change to play more, as being a consistent choice at the club level is crucial for national team performance. Despite the suggestion, Eustáquio decided to stay at FC Porto and has become a key player for the team.
Before the Copa América, there were inquiries from Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs regarding Stephen Eustáquio, but no concrete offers have been made so far.
Stephen Eustáquio, a midfielder for FC Porto, is evaluating the best options for his career. Despite his love for FC Porto, he acknowledges the need to play more regularly. The Canadian national team coach, Jesse Marsch, mentioned that Eustáquio needs to find a way to be a first choice on the field to maintain his high level of performance for the national team. Eustáquio has a contract with FC Porto until June 2027 with a 60 million euro release clause.
Stephen Eustáquio, currently serving the Canadian national team, is expected to leave FC Porto this summer. The midfielder is highly coveted by international markets, particularly by clubs in Major League Soccer (MLS), the North American football league. Although he has not yet received any official offers, initial inquiries have been made for his potential transfer. FC Porto will not hinder a possible departure but will require financial compensation.
Stephen Eustaquio saw his playing time decrease significantly during the second half of the season and, as a result, saw his market value decrease 21.4% to now €12m. He will represent Canada at the Copa America in the United States this summer. This is seen as an excellent opportunity to improve his market ahead of the transfer window opening in July.
