Tondela’s coach, Ivo Vieira, is about to welcome a new face to his defense. Brayan Medina, a 23-year-old Colombian central defender, is set to join the club permanently from América de Cali. This news comes straight from Record, confirming the deal is nearly done.
Medina is not just any young player. He stands tall at 1.90 meters, a real presence on the field. What truly sets him apart is his modern playing style. He’s left-footed and very comfortable with the ball at his feet. This means he can help start attacks right from the back.
His ability to pass the ball well is key for Tondela. Coach Vieira prefers a style where the team keeps the ball a lot. Medina offers fresh options for building plays from deep. He fits perfectly into a team that likes to control the game.
While the final papers aren’t signed yet, the agreement is expected to be wrapped up soon. Once that happens, Medina will head to Beira. That’s where the Tondela squad is currently training for the new season.
The team has already been busy with pre-season work. They recently had a training camp in Quiaios. There, they played and won practice matches against their own under-19 side and Arouca. Adding Medina will surely give them another boost as they get ready for the challenges ahead.
