Portugal and Cape Verde defensive midfielder Alexandre Brito of Pafos is being linked with a move from former club Sporting B to Polish Ekstraklasa side Piast Gliwice, according to transfer speculation in Portugal.
The 20-year-old, who stands at 1.90m and is valued at €175k on Transfermarkt, is the subject of interest as Piast explore low-cost midfield options. The reported probability of a deal remains unclear, with listings marking the move simply as “?” and no agreement announced between the clubs.
Brito, born in Lisbon on 19 July 2005, is a right-footed defensive midfielder who can anchor the centre of the pitch. He previously featured for Sporting B in Liga Portugal 2 before moving to Cypriot side Pafos, where he currently wears the number 50 shirt. His contract situation at Pafos is not publicly detailed, with no expiry date listed, leaving open the possibility that he could move on as a free agent if terms are not clarified or extended.
Recent data on his performances indicates he has been used in a holding role, tasked with screening the back line and recycling possession rather than contributing heavily in attack, though detailed match-by-match statistics, including goals and assists, are not recorded in the latest scrape. No specific recent fixture – such as opponent, date, scoreline or an individual standout display – has been highlighted in the available information.
Piast, established in Poland’s top flight, are believed to see Brito’s profile and modest market value as an opportunity to add height and defensive balance to their midfield without a major financial outlay.
If the move does materialise, a switch from the Portuguese development pathway and Cypriot football to the Ekstraklasa could mark a significant next step in Brito’s career, offering a platform to build his reputation in central Europe and test his potential at senior top-flight level.
