FC Dallas’ first major signing of 2022 came in the form of right back, Nanu, from FC Porto in Portugal’s 1st Division, known as the Primeira Liga. Nanu was signed on loan until December 2022, where they will then have the option to make the deal permanent.
The 27-year old started out his professional career with Beira Mar, before being signed on a free deal to Maritimo’s B side in the Portuguese 2nd Division during the 2015-16 season. He quickly worked his way up to Maritimo’s A side in the Portuguese 1st Division and debuted for them in the 2017-18 season, before really making an impact in the 2018-19 season.
