Cláudio Ramos reinforces FC Porto and signed for four seasons, until 2024. The international Portuguese goalkeeper, 28, did his training at Sport Clube Paivense, at Académico de Viseu, at Repenenses and at Vitória de Guimarães, from where he was loaned to Amarante (2010/11) and to Tondela (2011/12). This was where Cláudio Ramos played in the last nine seasons, having been called by Fernando Santos to play for the Portuguese national team. From April 9, 2017, to May 5, 2020, Cláudio Ramos played 103 consecutive matches in the championship for Tondela, a record in Portuguese football. From now on, he is one of the men defending FC Porto’s goal.
