Gil Vicente Hub
Gil Vicente is preparing to receive two players from Sporting, with José Silva and David Moreira joining the squad for the next season. The two young defenders will leave Alvalade permanently and sign three-year contracts with the Barcelos club.
Who are the reinforcements?
José Silva, a 20-year-old right-back, is looking to relaunch his career after a season with little use at Arouca, where he was loaned by the lions. David Moreira, a 22-year-old left-back, was one of the figures of the leonine B team in 2025/26 and arrives to occupy the space left by Ghislain Konan on the left side of the defense.
Why is this important for Gil Vicente?
The arrival of the two defenders comes at a time when Gil Vicente needs to strengthen the defense for the next season. The Barcelos team finished the 2025/26 season in 6th place in the Primeira Liga, with 50 points, 13 wins, 11 draws and 10 losses in 34 games.

What comes next?
The duo will be trained by Luís Pinto, the coach who will guide the gilistas in 2026/27. The change of the two defenders comes at a time when Sporting and Gil Vicente have good relations in the market. The recent transfer of Rodrigo Rodrigues to Alvalade ended up facilitating the understanding between the two SAD for the completion of these operations.
As of June 29, 2026, Gil Vicente is in 6th place in the Primeira Liga, with 50 points, 13 wins, 11 draws and 10 losses in 34 games, and a goal difference of +9.
