Rony Lopes is set to join Tondela after mutually agreeing to terminate his contract with Alanyaspor, where he played last season. The 29-year-old Portuguese international, who has been capped twice for the national team, is expected to sign a contract for two to three seasons with the auriverdes. It is anticipated that the official announcement will be made in the coming hours. Rony Lopes, who is versatile enough to play as an attacking midfielder or on the wings, has had a notable career. He was developed at Benfica and Manchester City, and has played for several European clubs including Lille, Monaco, Nice, Troyes, Sevilla, Olympiakos, SC Braga, and Farense. Last season at Alanyaspor, he played 18 matches, scoring one goal and providing one assist, before transferring to Farense, where he scored once in 14 matches. His career will continue in the top division of Portuguese football, now under the leadership of Tondela's manager, Ivo Vieira.
