As the friendly matches in preparation for Euro 2024 approach, Portuguese coach Roberto Martinez will have the task of somewhat renewing his squad, particularly in the offensive sector. One of the players likely to be offered a chance with the Seleção is winger Galeno, currently in form with FC Porto.

Born in Brazil in 1997, Galeno joined the Portuguese club in 2019 and gradually gained playing time there. His convincing performances this season, where he has totaled 7 goals and 4 assists in all competitions, speak in his favor. On March 25, he scored against Arsenal in the Champions League, showing that he could shine on the European scene.

Recently naturalized Portuguese, Galeno corresponds to the profile sought by Martinez to lead the left side of the Lusitanian attack. Technical, fast and unpredictable with the ball at his feet, he could bring creativity and percussion. His call-up with the Portuguese hopefuls in November suggests that he figures in the coach’s plans.
