Quick Facts Personal information, Date of birth ...

Club career

A member of the Porto academy since 2019,[2][3][4] Nhaga joined the Paris Saint-Germain Academy in January 2023, after he refused to sign his first professional contract with the Portuguese club.[5][6][7][8] He joined the club on a contract until 2025, and was initially assigned to the under-19 squad.[9] Nhaga was first selected by first team manager Christophe Galtier in the match day squad on 21 April 2023, for a Ligue 1 game against Angers, where he appeared on the bench.[6][7][10]

International career

Born in Guinea-Bissau, Nhaga holds Portuguese nationality and has been called up to Portuguese youth national teams.[11][2][5][7]

Style of play

An offensive-minded left-back with remarkable physical abilities,[5] Nhaga's style of play very soon earned him comparisons to his PSG teammate Nuno Mendes.[5][7][10] PSG manager Christophe Galtier described Nhaga as a "left-footed, very explosive, powerful [player], with good technical abilities".[7][12]
