FC Porto winger Gonçalo Borges is poised to make a significant switch to Dutch champions Feyenoord in a deal reportedly worth €9 million upfront, with a further €2 million in performance-related add-ons.
The 24-year-old Portuguese talent had been linked with a €10 million move to Brazilian outfit Botafogo earlier this summer, but negotiations collapsed due to disagreements on personal terms. Borges, keen to remain within European football, found his ideal fit in Rotterdam, aligning with Feyenoord’s ambitions and playing philosophy.
Borges was absent from training at Olival on Friday, with sources confirming he is preparing to travel to the Netherlands in the coming days to finalize the transfer and undergo medical assessments.
This move represents Feyenoord’s intent to strengthen their attacking options as they gear up for another campaign in Europe. For Porto, the deal is financially sound and strategically aligned with their model of developing and monetizing talent.
Expect official confirmation soon, as Borges looks set to don the red and white of Feyenoord and take the next step in his European journey.
