It’s official: Pablo Rosario joins FC Porto, takes number 13 shirt | OneFootball

FC Porto announced, on the morning of this Thursday, the signing of Pablo Rosario, coming from Nice. The 28-year-old midfielder signed a contract until June 2029 and will wear the number 13 shirt.

Pablo Rosario arrives at Dragão to increase the midfield options for Francesco Farioli, the Italian coach who knows him well from his time at Nice.

“Arriving on the Côte d’Azur with the label of a discreet and hard-working player who gives everything for the team, he commanded the French midfield on 79 occasions and registered two assists before crossing paths with Francesco Farioli, who started him in 30 out of 34 Ligue 1 matches – and in all rounds of the French Cup – and also saw him make his debut for the Dominican Republic national team,” reads FC Porto’s statement, which continues.

“The Italian coach headed to Amsterdam, but the midfielder stayed in Nice, became captain and, as the deepest midfielder or even as a central defender, collected another 36 appearances, scored four goals and provided another assist before landing in Portugal,” the Dragons conclude.

Pablo Rosario will also cross paths again with Luuk de Jong, as both were teammates at PSV, the club where the Dominican midfielder played for several years.

Rosario is, therefore, FC Porto’s ninth signing for this season, which has already started: Victor Froholdt (Copenhagen), Gabri Veiga (Al Ahli), Alberto Costa (Juventus), Borja Sainz (Norwich), Jan Bednarek (Southampton), Dominik Prpic (Hajduk Split), Luuk de Jong (free transfer) and João Costa (Estrela da Amadora).
