Emanuel Fernandes and Tiago Ribeiro are close to joining Santa Clara from Feirense. Negotiations between the two clubs are at an advanced stage, and according to A BOLA, the process could be concluded soon. A BOLA was told that the joint transfer for both players could cost Santa Clara around 500,000 euros, a sum that may be sufficient for Feirense to approve the transfers to the top national league. Emanuel Fernandes is a 23-year-old, 1.90m tall central defender who previously played for Sporting's youth teams. He has been with Feirense for the last two seasons, making 48 appearances, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
