Alan Varela has made his European move, signing for FC Porto from Boca Juniors – we scouted Varela initially back in August 2022 and felt he was ready for Tier 1 European teams and recommended him to several.
“Alan Varela is a young talented defensive midfielder who has the capability to control the tempo of the game at any moment. He is the deep-lying orchestrator who likes to build the game from the back.
His positioning is great and the way he drops backs to receive the ball and create a chance shows his braveness and leadership quality needed for a good future player.”
