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.
