Olympique_de_Marseille Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 His Insta is private but is @hugo.tavares18 and he has a Canadian flag in his bio (and only a Canadian flag). Being in Paços de Ferreira's youth system surely Eustáquio knows about him. TOCanada115, johnyb and toontownman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buchta Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 He has played 17 games (2 goals) so far this season with Pacos U19. A Portuguese website lists him as a defensive midfielder. He has been playing in Portugal since at least he was 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder where he might find a mentor who could take him under his wing for club and country? 😉 Sal333, Chad_Impact, Olympique_de_Marseille and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p33j Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 The Northern futbol guys covered him in their last podcast on January 4, 2021. They said he plays more of the 10 role rather than a 9. He is turning 19 in a couple of weeks and could be on the radar in a couple of years for the MNT. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally McCoist Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Will this be another Ismael Kone situation?

YorkRegionFan Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Is Hugo Tavares an attacking midfielder or a defensive mid? The Transfermarkt page lists him as an attacking mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_fcpf Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 In Paços he started to play 10 and 8. Since the first game against FC Porto (mid October last year) he started to play defensive mid. https://www.zerozero.pt/jogador.php?id=258849 sebdeserio, nolando, Xavier. and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Good luck to him. Shame he didn't go through with Pacos. MLS on the horizon if he stays the course and wants it. NVsoccer and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_fcpf Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hugo Tavares highlights Fall 2022 (Goals, Offensive and Defensive playing). Only player of the team starting all 17 games despite being a Rookie... 1328 minutes...

Was it a personal choice or was he not able to make it in europe? Hopefully hes still a promising option for CMNT in a few years if he goes the mls route. I don't know much about him but at first glance its disappointing to see a guy who could be playing in portugal going to Ncaa with hopes of one day going to mls.

I don't know much about him but at first glance its disappointing to see a guy who could be playing in portugal going to Ncaa with hopes of one day going to mls. It was a personal choice. It seems he was offered a professional contract in Paços but playing this year in a 3rd division club as a loan. I think he took a calculated risk moving to NCAA with the intention to move to MLS. There are many young players at this stage (mainly financially aspects but also the fact the next world cup will be in north america which will increase visibilty) wanting to move to NA targeting MLS ...and coachs too. Ex: Nuno Santos, 23 (a Benfica player that was playing in Paços) was transferred to Charlotte FC. If we exclude the 4/5 main clubs in Portugal salaries are very low in all others... much lower than CPL for example. Also the new coach for Charlotte FC II playing MLS Next Pro next year is the former U19 FC Porto coach..... and you will see more moving. Time will tell.

Bigandy Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Makes sense. Lets hope its the right choice! It's a big risk since he moved to NCAA and not to MLS. I have a hard time believing the salaries in portugal are lower than CPL though. Vitoria much lower than didic... Theres just no way. Based on the low end of the salary cap. You average 28k a year per player in the CPL. Paco's had 5 players making 20k in EUROs a year. They are young guys though. The majority of the guys seem to be making between 80k-800k a year in euros.

Salaries I was mainly referring to young players..... tipically first professional contract in portugal is for 3 years .... year 1: 9.000€; Year 2: 12.000€ and year 3: 18.000 € per year.... again excluding Benfica, Porto, Sporting, Braga and Gumaraes...those ones pay more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A full NCAA "contract" can be worth upwards of $70,000.00 with all the perks. An American football player, probably more. A real Football player, not so much.
