Sunderland have confirmed that 22-year-old striker Hemir has joined Portuguese side Moreirense on loan.
Sunderland have confirmed that striker Luis Hemir has completed a season-long loan move to Portuguese side Moreirense FC.
The 22-year-old will spend the 2025-26 campaign with the Primeira Liga outfit, who have made an impressive start to their season with three wins from three in Portugal’s top tier. The move is seen as an opportunity for Hemir to gain regular first-team football and continue his development.
Hemir arrived on Wearside from Benfica in June 2023 and spent last season on loan in Italy with Juventus Next Gen, making 27 appearances.
