Portuguese international Renato Sanches has finalised his move from Paris Saint-Germain to AS Roma, signing a season-long loan deal in Italy with a view to a permanent switch.

Sanches struggled to make an impression at PSG last season as injuries often disrupted his momentum. The former Benfica man was made available by new boss Luis Enrique, and the Giallorossi quickly made Sanches a prime target to boost José Mourinho’s squad.

Against most expectations, João Félix has started the 2023-24 season with Atletico Madrid. However, it was night to forget for the Portugal international, who failed to get off the bench and was whistled by his own supporters as Atletico overcame Granada at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Félix had been widely expected to leave the Spanish capital well ahead of the new campaign, having spent the second half of last season on-loan at Chelsea following a fallout with Atletico boss Diego Simeone. Speaking after the 3-1 win against Granada, Simeone challenged Félix to earn his place in the team.

Gonçalo Ramos has completed his move from Benfica to French champions Paris Saint-Germain, signing a loan deal which will be made permanent at the end of the season.

Ramos arrives at the Parc des Princes just five days before the start of the new Ligue 1 campaign, which begins with PSG hosting Lorient on Saturday evening. The 22-year-old becomes the fifth Portuguese player in the club’s ranks and is part of a new-look frontline following the departure of Lionel Messi.

Dutch giants Ajax have confirmed the capture of Portuguese sensation Carlos Forbs from Manchester City on a five-year contract, having hijacked West Ham United’s deal for the forward.

Forbs, who until recently went by the name Carlos Borges, looked set to move to London with West Ham, but Ajax arrived late to overtake the Hammers in the race for his signature. City will receive an initial fee of €14m, which could rise to €19m with add-ons.
