A BOLA understands that the Vila Nova club has secured the player's signing from Basel in a deal that will cost the Minho side just under €1 million. Finn van Breemen, 23, is expected to sign a long-term contract, likely for four or five seasons.

The former Netherlands U21 international (five caps) is a central defender who impresses with his physical presence (1.93 meters) and is also left-footed, much like Justin de Haas, whom he will replace at the heart of Famalicão's defense.

Born in the Netherlands, Finn van Breemen played for Den Haag in his home country before moving to Switzerland, where he spent the last three seasons with Basel (totaling 51 appearances, three goals, and three assists). In the 2024/2025 season, he added a league title and the Swiss Cup to his resume.

The deal between the two clubs is finalized, and an agreement with the player is also complete, so Famalicão is expected to officially announce Finn van Breemen's arrival in the coming days.

As for Justin de Haas, he leaves Famalicão on a free transfer — he was one of the most valuable players in the league whose contract was expiring. Check out the gallery below for the world's most valuable players whose contracts end in June, along with other stars from Portugal and beyond:
