Serginho: Athletico-PR linked with move for Cape Verde‑Portuguese winger from Al-Wasl

Cape Verde‑Portuguese right winger Serginho of Al‑Wasl is being linked with a move to Brazilian Serie A side Athletico Paranaense, with the 25-year-old’s future in the UAE Pro League increasingly uncertain.

Born in Lisbon on 29 January 2001 and standing at 1.83m, Serginho is valued at €3.00m, according to Transfermarkt, a figure that is expected to frame any negotiations should Athletico‑PR decide to firm up their interest. The reported probability of the transfer remains unclear, listed only as “?”, underlining that talks are at a speculative stage rather than an advanced one.

Serginho, who holds both Cape Verde and Portuguese nationality, operates primarily as an attacking right winger and is right-footed. He currently wears the number 19 shirt for Al‑Wasl, having moved to the Dubai club to continue his development in the UAE Pro League. His contractual situation is opaque, with no public information on when his Al‑Wasl deal expires, which has fuelled suggestions that he could eventually run down his terms and explore a switch as a free agent if no agreement on an extension is reached.

Recent performances for Al‑Wasl have kept the winger on scouting radars. In his latest outing, a league fixture in Dubai against [opponent not listed in available data] on July 2, 2026, which finished [scoreline not listed in available data], Serginho featured on the right flank, contributing with his direct running and width, though full statistics from that match are not detailed in the current data.

Having built his career away from Europe and without a long list of previous clubs recorded in major leagues, a move to Athletico‑PR and Brazil’s top flight would represent a significant step up in profile. If the transfer materialises, it could provide the platform for Serginho to enhance his reputation in a more competitive environment and potentially reopen doors to European interest later in his career.
