Young players transfer to Portuguese clubs

Overview

In July 2026, Croatian forward Lovro Zvonarek left Bayern Munich to join Estrela da Amadora on a three‑year deal, seeking regular first‑team action in Portugal’s Primeira Liga. His move highlighted the Portuguese league’s reputation for developing young talent and attracted interest from German investors linked to the club.

A few weeks later, in August 2026, Bosnian midfielder Andro Babić transferred from FK Velež Mostar to Academico Viseu, while Velež simultaneously signed defender Benjamin Zulović. Babić’s departure continued the pattern of Balkan players moving to Portuguese sides, underscoring Portugal’s growing role as a destination for emerging talent from the region.
