Under a contract with Porto until June 2024, Diogo Leite was loaned to Braga last season. The intention was for the young under-21 international to have more competitive space, and the truth is that with Carlos Carvalhal in charge of the Minho warriors, the Porto player as loanee had 34 Arsenalist caps left.
The club, under the chairmanship of António Salvador, has set a clause on the possibility of buying Diogo Leite in the amount of 12 million euros, an amount that SAD Minhota considers quite high and in this sense does not intend to use it. Thus, having a contract with the Dragons for another two years, the player will have to return to his native home, now it remains to be decided whether he will be part of the first team squad or will work for the “B” until Porto Managers find a decision that takes into account both the interests of the athlete and the interests of FC Porto.
Managed by Jorge Mendez, Diogo Leite has always been linked with Valencia from Spain in recent years, a transfer that never materialized due to the sums requested by the Blues and Whites, never below 20 million euros.
