Semeu Commey: Ghanaian defender completes permanent switch from Estrela Amadora to Leixoes in Liga Portugal 2

Ghanaian centre-back Semeu Commey has completed a permanent move from Estrela Amadora to Leixoes, sealing a transfer that formally starts on 03/07/2026 and runs through to an undisclosed contract end date. The deal follows a successful loan spell at the Matosinhos club and places the 22-year-old in Liga Portugal 2 on a full-time basis, with the transfer fee not disclosed and his current market value listed at 225,000.

The move is confirmed after Commeys loan at Leixoes ended with his return to Estrela Amadora on 30/06/2026, only for the defender to be transferred back to Leixoes three days later on a standard, permanent deal. Data from Transfermarkt records the transaction as a completed transfer within Portugal, taking the Accra-born defender from a Liga Portugal side to a second-tier club where he had already been integrated into the squad structure.

Commey initially joined Leixoes on loan from Estrela Amadora on 30/01/2026, a mid-season switch that gave him his first run with the club in Liga Portugal 2. Although appearance and performance statistics for that loan spell are not listed in the available data, the decision to convert the arrangement into a permanent transfer indicates that Leixoes have committed to him as part of their defensive group going into the 2026/27 campaign.

Before his spell at Leixoes, Commey had been on the books of Estrela Amadora in Liga Portugal, having moved there from CD Trofense on 03/02/2025. That transfer marked his step up from Portugals lower tiers towards the top flight, after he had first arrived in senior Portuguese football with Trofense on 01/07/2023. Trofense themselves had initially taken him on loan from Boavista FCs Under-19 side in January 2023 before making the deal permanent later that year.

The 1.90m right-footed central defender has spent his entire club career to date in Portugal, meaning his confirmed move to Leixoes keeps him abroad and competing in Liga Portugal 2 rather than returning to his native Ghana. He is listed primarily as a centre-back, with no noted secondary positions, underlining his profile as a specialist in the heart of defence rather than a utility player across the back line.

Commeys market value has fluctuated during his rise through Portuguese football. While at CD Trofense, he was valued at 125,000 in mid-2023 before dropping to zero later that year. His valuation climbed significantly following his move to Estrela Amadora, reaching 300,000 across several updates in 2025. The most recent assessment on 24/06/2026 places his value at 225,000 as a Leixoes player, reflecting both his age profile and his status within the Portuguese pyramid.

There is no indication in the data that Commey is currently a free agent; the permanent move from Estrela Amadora to Leixoes is recorded as a completed standard transfer, with no loan or expiry condition linked to free agency. Contract duration and specific salary terms are not disclosed, and the fee is listed simply as unknown, preventing any clear comparison between his market value and the actual outlay by Leixoes.

Internationally, Commey is registered as Ghanaian, with Ghana his sole listed nationality. There is no record in the provided data of senior international caps or youth-team appearances for Ghana, nor is there evidence of involvement in any other national set-up. His national team field is associated with Leixoes SC rather than a country, which reflects club data rather than international recognition.

No recent individual match details, scorelines, or statistical contributions are included in the dataset, and there are no figures for appearances, goals, or defensive metrics for the 2025/26 season. As a result, his impact at Estrela Amadora and during his loan spell at Leixoes can only be inferred from the sequence of transfers and the willingness of multiple Portuguese clubs to invest in his development.

What is clear is that Commeys career path has been defined by steady progression within Portugals professional leagues, moving from a youth set-up at Boavista to senior football at Trofense, then into the top tier with Estrela Amadora and now into a permanent role at Leixoes in Liga Portugal 2. With his height, age and experience across different levels of the Portuguese system, the confirmed transfer provides a stable platform for the Ghanaian defender to consolidate his reputation in European football as he enters what should be some of his key developmental years.
