Sandro Vidigal struggled to hold back tears. He spoke about his family. His mother, especially, means the world to him. “I dedicate this new contract mainly to my family,” he shared, his voice thick with emotion. “It’s not easy. It never has been easy.” He stated he’s there mostly for them, especially his mother. His eyes welled up. “And that’s it,” he finished softly. This personal dedication explains much about the young talent.
Sp. Braga confirmed the news on Monday. They extended Sandro Vidigal’s contract. The 18-year-old winger will stay until 2030. His new deal includes a €50 million release clause. It’s a huge show of faith in the rising star.
Vidigal spoke to Next, the club’s official channel. He shared his feelings. “This shows the club trusts my work,” he said. “My aim is to keep working. I want to improve and get better all the time. I’m very proud of my journey so far. I grew up at SC Braga. This truly feels like my home.” His words highlight a deep bond with the team.
He added that he always aimed for the main squad. “I’m never satisfied,” Vidigal explained. “I push myself every day to be better.” His big goals include scoring his first main team goal. He also dreams of winning a Champions League or a World Cup someday. These are big dreams, but his determination shines through.
It’s interesting to note this contract was signed last Thursday. That was before his Europa League playoff game. He then scored his very first goal for the main team against Lincoln Red Imps. It was a perfect start to his newly secured future, almost as if destiny was smiling on him.
