Strasbourg will sign 20-year-old Portuguese youth international defensive midfielder Diogo Sousa from Vitoria Guimaraes for a fee reported to be €10 million plus bonuses. This signing is part of Strasbourg's preparations for the next season, during which the club is also expected to sell Valentin Barco and has decided against activating the purchase option for Rafael Luis, who was on loan from Benfica. Sousa, who is under contract with his formative club until 2028, will not play in the final league match against Nacional Madeira. The player is expected to arrive in Alsace in the coming days.
