Alireza Beiranvand joined Boavista on loan from Belgian Antwerp until the end of 2021/22 season.
“I am very happy with this new challenge in my career. I was very well received by everyone at the club and I love the stadium. I’m sure we’ll have a good season and I feel ready to help the team in whatever it takes,” said the 28-year-old goalkeeper.
“It’s my first time in Portugal and in the city of Porto. I have been treated very well and I feel very happy with the choice I have made. I have some compatriots playing here in Portugal, so I will never feel alone in Portugal,” he said.
The goalkeeper will have to compete with Brazilian Rafael Bracali and Joao Goncalves in the ‘checkered’ goal.
“I know that Boavista’s fans are very warm. They are always the 12th player in a team and it is very important to have their support during the season. I promise to give my best and do everything in my power to help the club,” said Beiranvand, whose signing broke popularity records on social networks.
