He joined his current club the same year Theo did and, like Maignan, came from Lille. During the 2023/24 season, the Portuguese scored 15 goals and 14 assists in 47 meetings.

In addition to them, the Red-Blacks are represented in the continental championship by: defender Simon Kjaer (Denmark), midfielder Tijani Reynders (Netherlands), forwards Noah Okafor (Switzerland), Luka Jovic (Serbia) and Olivier Giroud (France). True, the latter will definitely leave the club and join FC Los Angeles.
