SC Braga are set to play their first competitive game of the 2025/26 season on Thursday, traveling to Bulgaria to face Levski Sofia in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League, with the second leg scheduled for July 31 at their home ground, the Quarry. If Braga advances, they will meet the winner between FC Lugano and CFR Cluj for a spot in the playoffs[1].

The club has been active in the transfer market, most notably signing Barcelona forward Pau Víctor for €12 million plus €3 million in add-ons, with a contract until 2030[3]. Other notable arrivals include:

  • Gabriel Moscardo (on loan from PSG, defensive midfielder)
  • Gustaf Lagerbielke (from Celtic, central defender, €2.57M)
  • Mario Dorgeles (from FC Nordsjaelland, central midfielder, €11M)
  • Fran Navarro (from FC Porto, striker, €2.7M)
  • Leonardo Lelo (free from Casa Pia AC, left midfielder)
  • Alaa Bellaarouch (from Strasbourg, goalkeeper, €0.3M)

Additionally, several players returned from loan spells, including Simon Banza, Matheus, and André Horta[2][4][6].

In the transfer rumors, Feyenoord are reportedly preparing to submit a formal offer for SC Braga defender Sikou Niakaté, valued by Transfermarkt at approximately €8 million. Niakaté, a 26-year-old central defender, is under contract with Braga until 2028[5].

Braga is also reportedly considering a move for Austrian defensive midfielder Florian Grillitsch from TSG Hoffenheim, as the player is set to leave Germany with a market value estimated at €2 million[7].
