Moreirense is already looking ahead to the 2026/27 season with purpose, announcing on Monday the signing of Michael Dacosta, a 21-year-old winger who makes the switch from Bournemouth to the Minho club.
The club detailed that this is a historic move, as the attacker is the first player to complete a direct transfer between clubs within the Black Knight Football Group (BKFG).
Dacosta has penned a contract valid until 2029 and, as A BOLA learned, arrives at Moreira de Cónegos on a free transfer, under the protocol/partnership between the involved clubs.
Last season, Michael Dacosta, a left-footed Spanish national, scored four goals in seven appearances for Bournemouth's U21 side. Prior to that, he had a loan spell at Hartlepool United, who compete in the National League.
