FC Porto continue to hog most of the headlines during the summer transfer market.

On the back of the audacious capture of Spain's national goalkeeper, Iker Casillas, the Dragons have completed the signing of ex Benfica right-back Maxi Pereira. 

Meanwhile, Sporting have been rocked by the news that midfield lynchpin William Carvalho will miss the opening months of the season. PortuGOAL rounds up the latest developments among the Primeira Liga's major clubs. 

The last couple of days has seen transfer talk reach fever pitch in Portugal.

Iker Casillas and Didier Drogba have been heavily linked with a move to Porto, while key players at Benfica and Sporting could be leaving.

PortuGOAL rounds up the latest from the rumour mill.

Braga swap coaches

This week it’s back to work for footballers up and down the country after their summer break as pre-season activities get underway.

As usual, a whirl of transfer activity has kept things interesting during the dearth of club football. PortuGOAL rounds up the major movers among the playing and coaching staff of Portugal’s biggest clubs.

When Belenenses secured a final day win in Gil Vicente’s modest Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, they not only confounded critics by rounding off a fantastic season of achievement (European qualification for the first time since 2007 was secured), but they restored a little bit of historical balance to Portuguese football that has been missing for some time.
