Al Sharjah from the United Arab Emirates and PAOK from Greece are among the most serious candidates to sign Luís Esteves, a 28-year-old Portuguese midfielder for Gil Vicente, whom he joined in July 2025. Clubs in Mexico and the United States are also monitoring the player. Esteves has two years remaining on his contract with Gil Vicente, and any expression of interest, such as an inquiry or a concrete proposal, must be presented to the club's board. Offers for the midfielder are considered very likely to arrive during this transfer window. In the 2025/2026 Liga Portugal season, Esteves made 33 appearances, scoring 4 goals and providing 8 assists. His current market value is €6.00m.
