Signs permanently with Augsburg
Ribeiro signed a long-term contract with Augsburg through 2031 after the club exercised the purchase option included in his loan agreement from Sporting Lisbon, the club announced.
Analysis: Ribeiro made an immediate impact during the second half of the season, scoring two goals across 14 appearances including strikes in the 3-2 win at Wolfsburg and the 2-0 home victory against Koln. The 21-year-old Portuguese forward also made his debut for the Portugal under-21 national team in March, underlining his continued development at club and international level. Sporting director Benni Weber highlighted his speed, ability to run in behind defenses and goal-scoring instinct as key factors behind the decision to make the move permanent, describing his profile as a perfect fit for Augsburg's style of play and their commitment to developing young talent.
Four shots off bench
Ribeiro generated four shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Eintracht Frankfurt.
Analysis: Ribeiro played just 31 minutes off the bench during Saturday's draw and still put in four shots, as he came on desperate to break the deadlock. None of his shots were on target, but the volume is still encouraging for Ribeiro. Unless he can add some accuracy it's hard to trust his upside, though he should get more chances with three matches left in the campaign.
