Strasbourg Maintains Interest in Porto Winger Gonçalo Borges

Despite opting to remain with FC Porto during the previous transfer window, 23-year-old winger Gonçalo Borges continues to attract interest from RC Strasbourg Alsace. The French club’s pursuit of the Portuguese talent persists, even as Borges struggles to secure regular playing time with his current team.

This season has seen Borges make limited appearances for Porto, with just one start each in the league and UEFA Europa League. However, he has managed to contribute two goals and an assist, showcasing his potential when given the opportunity.

While no formal offer has been submitted, Strasbourg’s interest in Borges remains strong. The Ligue 1 side is exploring options to bolster their wing positions, particularly in light of Dilane Bakwa’s recent injury, which is expected to sideline him for several weeks.

Borges’ current contract with Porto extends until 2027, potentially complicating any transfer negotiations. Nevertheless, the possibility of a move to Strasbourg in the current transfer window cannot be dismissed, as the French club seeks to strengthen its squad for the remainder of the season.
