PAOK from Greece is one of the primary candidates to sign Luís Esteves from Gil Vicente, with Al Sharjah from the United Arab Emirates also identified as a significant contender. The 28-year-old Portuguese attacking midfielder has generated significant interest following a strong debut season at Gil Vicente, whom he joined in July 2025. In the 2025/2026 Liga Portugal season, he made 33 appearances, scoring 4 goals and providing 8 assists. There is also interest in the player from clubs in Mexico and the United States. Luís Esteves has two years left on his contract, and any expression of interest, whether an inquiry or a concrete proposal, must be presented to the Gil Vicente board. It is considered very likely that offers for the player will be made during the current transfer window. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €6.00m.
