Portugal-Angola right winger Barandas is being linked with a move from Portuguese third-tier side Atlético CP to Bulgarian efbet Liga club Cherno More, with the 26-year-old’s contractual status raising the prospect of a free-agent switch.
The Atlético CP No 7, born in Chaves on 10 April 2000 and standing at 1.75m, is listed with no contract expiry date at the Lisbon club, fuelling speculation Cherno More could look to prise him away without a transfer fee this summer. The latest update on the rumour, dated 29 June 2026, carries an unspecified probability rating (“?”), underlining that discussions remain at an early, exploratory stage.
Barandas, a left-footed right winger who can operate across the attacking line, holds dual nationality with Portugal and Angola and is registered in Liga 3 with Atlético CP. Transfermarkt currently records no official market value for the player, a detail which is feeding talk that a move to Bulgaria might hinge more on wages and signing-on fees than on a set transfer figure.
Recent data on Barandas highlights his role as an attacking outlet for Atlético CP in Portugal’s third tier, though no formal fee has ever been disclosed for his arrival at the club and no previous transfer history is listed in the available records. In his latest recorded outing for Atlético CP in Liga 3 – a June 2026 fixture in which his side faced domestic opposition (exact opponent and scoreline are not specified in the data) – the winger again featured in his customary right-sided attacking role, contributing with his direct running and left-footed delivery.
With no contract expiry information on file and no market valuation attached, Barandas could yet emerge as a low-risk, high-upside option for Cherno More. Should the move materialise, a step up from Portugal’s Liga 3 to Bulgaria’s top flight could prove a pivotal moment in shaping his career trajectory and raising his profile beyond the Portuguese lower leagues.
