SC Braga is close to signing Gabriel Silva, a midfielder who currently plays for Santa Clara. The negotiations are advanced and are expected to be completed in the next few days. Silva will reportedly sign a five-year deal. The club is also linked to Swedish midfielder Marcus Linday, who plays for Heerenveen. However, there has been no progress from the Braga board yet. Gabriel Silva completed his youth development at Assyriska, his native country, before representing Vasteras, also in Sweden. In the 2024/2025 season, he moved to Heerenveen, where he has played for two seasons and has made 54 appearances, scoring three goals and providing four assists.
