Spartak announced the transfer to the club of the Portuguese defender of Benfica Tomas Tavares
The leadership of the Moscow “Spartak” announced that the Portuguese defender of “Benfica” Tomas Tavares moved to the club. This was reported on the team’s website.
The contract with the 21-year-old football player is calculated until 2026. For the first time in history, a Portuguese athlete joined the red and white team. Also, 22-year-old defender Alexis Duarte joined the red-whites. He played for the Paraguayan Cerro Porteño and signed an agreement until 2027.
Tavares is a graduate of Benfica. In 2022, the footballer was on loan at Basel under current red and white coach Guillermo Abascal.
After 17 matches, Spartak is in second place in the standings of the Russian Premier League with 36 points. Petersburg “Zenith” is in the lead with 42 points.

In the 2022/2023 season, Russian teams do not play in European competitions. The reason was the sanctions of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).
