The winter market in Portugal closed at 11:59 pm on Monday, but in other parts of the world it remains open and Casa Pia suffered the consequences of this ‘firsthand’: with the transfer window open in Turkey until Friday, Galatasaray secured the signing of Renato Nhaga from the Lisbon team.
Negotiations with Trabzonspor, as A BOLA opportunely reported, were in the final phase, but the almighty from Istanbul intervened in the fight and quickly signed the young Guinean midfielder, just 18 years old, for around seven million euros, with Casa Pia also guaranteeing the right to 10% of future capital gains.
A product of Pina Manique’s training, Nhaga joined the main team last season and became a key player in the midfield, playing 21 games during 2025/26, in which he scored two goals (one of them at Estádio da Luz) and made an assist. The midfielder could not have asked for a better farewell to the geese, as he saw the team inflict, on Monday night, their first defeat of the season against FC Porto (2-1) in the championship, in Rio Maior.
