PSG Targets: Two Rising Portuguese Stars

Paris Saint-Germain would like to strengthen with two Portuguese hopes, Anisio Cabral and Alberto Costa.

Two more Portuguese in the Parisian squad? In addition to João Neves, Vitinha, Gonçalo Ramos and Nuno Mendes, Paris Saint-Germain are tracking two other Portuguese players, Anisio Cabral and Alberto Costa, as indicated by our colleagues at the Team .

The capital club would target these two players in order to anticipate the transfer window in the summer of 2026. Alberto Costa, young right back playing at FC Porto, could be a priority in order to serve as a backup to Achraf Hakimi, the only real right back in the squad. At 22, the player trained at Vitoria Guimaraes returned to the country this summer, to Porto, after a six-month stint at Juventus, where he played 14 matches under the orders of Igor Tudor. His release clause being set at 65 million euros could cool the Parisian leaders, especially since the president of Porto, André Villas-Boas, would at no time consider a transfer below this sum.

For his Portuguese counterpart, Anisio Cabral, the profile is not at all the same. Young 17-year-old scorer, unanimous among Benfica’s youth teams. “An X factor”according to his Portuguese U17 coach Bino Maçaes. According to the Portuguese press, a departure clause of around 60 million euros would be in his first professional contract, signed in 2024. A sum which can be explained by his phenomenal performances, including winning the European Championship and the U17 World Cup with Portugal. Earlier, in U15, the 1m87 striker had had a stratospheric season, with statistics that would make your head spin (43 goals in 40 matches).
