Mario Dorgeles Set To Join SC Braga In €10.5m Deal
SC Braga will sign Mario Dorgeles from FC Nordsjælland for €10.5 million. The deal includes a 10% sell-on clause. The Ivorian midfielder will go to Portugal on Wednesday for his medical and to finalize the move.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Braga agreed to terms with Nordsjælland for the 20-year-old’s transfer. The fee is €10.5 million, and the Danish club will keep 10% of any future sale. Dorgeles joined Nordsjælland for the 2022/23 season and has three caps for Ivory Coast. He will travel to Braga on Wednesday to complete the move and have a medical.
WHY BRAGA TARGETED DORGELES
Dorgeles was consistent in the Danish Superliga, impressing with his energy and technique. He progressed at Nordsjælland and kept them competitive in the league. Braga’s midfield needed strengthening after key players left and inconsistent performances last season. Braga finished fourth in the Primeira Liga, two points behind third-placed Porto. Dorgeles can bring creativity and stability to the squad as the team prepares for domestic and European competitions.
Braga secured a Europa League spot after finishing fourth in the Portuguese league.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR BRAGA AND DORGELES?
If Dorgeles passes his medical, he will join Braga’s preseason training. Braga’s next game is their Primeira Liga opener as they aim to improve on last season’s fourth-place finish. They want to finish in the top three and qualify for the Champions League. Their first opponent is for European qualification, before kicking out the Primeira Liga campaign in the middle of August. Braga wants to challenge the top three teams, and Dorgeles will fight to get into the starting lineup immediately and show his quality.
