In Portugal, Germany’s third division is being watched very closely. The next transfers from the third division to Portugal are on the horizon.

Sidny Lopes Cabral’s move in the summer of 2025 from FC Viktoria Köln to Estrela Amadora was apparently just the beginning. Since then, Portuguese clubs have been actively poaching players from Germany’s third division. No wonder.

Lopes Cabral, who moved to Portugal on a free transfer, had an outstanding half-year, leading Amadora to sell him to Benfica Lisbon this past January 2026 for a whopping six million euros.

It seems they’ve really gotten a taste for it in Portugal. Following Tom Moustier (Rot-Weiss Essen)—after Leonardo Vonic (FC Porto B) had already moved to Portugal in January 2025—and Chilohem Onuoha (1. FC Köln, on loan to SC Verl), Max Scholze (SSV Ulm) is also set to join Amadora.

And now SSV Jahn Regensburg is also entering the picture. But this time, it’s not Amadora, but Estrela’s league rival, FC Alverca. According to Forecasting information, the team currently ranked tenth in the Portuguese first division has offered a mid-six-figure transfer fee for Nicolas Oliveira. Regensburg, however, turned down the offer; Alverca will likely make a higher bid—just as Amadora did in Moustier’s case.

Right back Oliveira has played 15 games (two goals, one assist) for Regensburg this season. He came up through the Hamburg SV youth system and transferred from HSV II to Regensburg in the summer of 2025.

Also: Wiesbaden’s Ryan Johansson was also on the list of Moustier’s club, Amadora. But SV Wehen Wiesbaden, like Regensburg, rejected the six-figure offer from Portugal.

Glasgow Rangers want Ryan Naderi—for three million euros!

Scottish top-flight club Glasgow Rangers could be behind the most spectacular transfer of the winter. As reported by “Sky,” the Rangers have submitted an offer of three million euros for Hansa Rostock striker Ryan Naderi. An agreement on a winter transfer is said to have already been reached with the 22-year-old forward. Now it’s up to Rostock to decide whether they want to accept the extremely lucrative offer for their most successful offensive player (eight goals, five assists).
