Portuguese Portimonense announced the signing of Brazilian defender Lucas Alves, former Al-Nasr player, as part of 5 new deals for the club, which suffers from poor results in the Portuguese League, as it ranks penultimate with 25 points from 30 matches.
Lucas, 30, played about 17 matches with Al-Ameed since the start of the current season 2022-2023, before he left in the “Winter Mercato”, sympathizing with the decline in the team’s results and the disappointing defensive performance of “Al-Azraq” in the “ADNOC Professional League”, where he contracted The “Brigadier” in exchange with Bosnian defender Samir Mimišević, who is also transferred from the Chinese League.
Lucas Alves became the second foreigner to be excluded from the “Brigadier’s” list, in the second half of the current season, who is returning to play in European clubs, after Gambian striker Dembo Darboy, who in turn moved to Astana in Kazakhstan on loan.
Failure chased Dembo, who failed in the first half of the league’s career, after the “23-year-old” striker, who moved to Al-Nasr at the beginning of the current season 2022-2023, from the Belarusian Shakhtor Soligorsk, settled for scoring only 3 goals for his team in 12 matches in the “ADNOC Professional League”.
Unlike the foreign players, Al-Nasr ended his contract with his former captain Tariq Ahmed, who was transferred to Shabab Al-Ahly during the Winter Mercato.
