In terms of on-pitch performance, captain Bruno Fernandes continues to impress, having scored in five consecutive matches, at a time when the club’s management has begun to look ahead to finding a long-term successor for him.
In this context, the name of Matheus Fernandes, the West Ham United star, has emerged as a strong contender, particularly given the possibility of his market value dropping should his team be relegated, which could accelerate negotiations.
With the possibility of the team returning to European competition, the need to strengthen the squad is growing, particularly in attack and defence, given the limited options currently available compared to the midfield, which points to a busy summer that could see radical changes within the club.
