This Tuesday, FC Porto made official the signing of David Carmo, the biggest transfer between Portuguese clubs. Dragons pay 20 million euros to Sp. Braga for the central defender, in a deal that still involves 2.5 million in variables.
Sérgio Conceição receives the intended centre-back to face the zero-cost exit of Chancel Mbemba – Rúben Semedo also left, after being little used in the loan period. However, the Porto coach will not be able to count on David Carmo in the first commitments of the season.
The 22-year-old Portuguese international was expelled in Famalicão-Sp. Braga, on the last round of the 2021/22 League, and will serve a two-game suspension. “He grabbed an opponent’s neck with excessive force,” the referee recorded in the report at the time.
Thus, David Carmo will not be available for the Portuguese Supercup match against Tondela, on July 30, nor for the first round of the League, on the weekend of August 6 and 7, when the national champions receive Marítimo. .
