A Bola reports that Hungarian central defender Gábor Szalai was transferred to Marítimo on loan for the season. Marítimo announced that the 26-year-old Hungarian central defender will play for the club for one season on loan from Ferencváros.

Gábor Szalai, a 26-year-old central defender from Ferencváros who has experience with the Hungarian national team, could be loaned to Marítimo. This potential move is consistent with the Madeiran club's coach having expressed a need for reinforcements in all positions, specifically wanting experienced players from the Portuguese league or other major championships who are within the club's budget. Szalai, who joined his current club in August 2024, has one cap for Hungary and a market value that Transfermarkt estimates to be €1.00m.
