Biel, a 25-year-old Brazilian winger who spent the last six months on loan at Al Taawoun in Saudi Arabia, is expected to move to Pafos in Cyprus, a team coached by Ricardo Sá Pinto. This will be the winger's third consecutive loan from Sporting, where his contract is valid until 2029. The Portuguese club had originally paid €6.24 million to Bahia for the player, who did not establish himself at the club. His previous loan spell was at Atl. Mineiro, where the club did not meet the objectives that would have triggered a mandatory €7 million purchase. The specific terms of Biel's move to Pafos, who have secured a place in the Europa League qualifying rounds, are not yet known, but the move is expected to be a loan, and it is not yet known whether there will be an option to buy. During his loan in the Saudi Pro League, Biel made 15 appearances and scored one goal. His current market value is €4.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
