AEL Limassol signs Portuguese midfielder Cafu

AEL Limassol has reached a full agreement to sign 32-year-old Portuguese midfielder Carlos Miguel Ribeiro Dias, professionally known as Cafu. The club intends for the 1.85-meter-tall player to serve as a key leader in the midfield, as he is capable of performing both as a defensive midfielder and in a box-to-box role.

Cafu, a product of the Benfica academy, brings extensive experience from top European leagues. His career includes stints at Vitoria Guimaraes, Lorient, and Metz. He also achieved significant success with Legia Warsaw, where he played 59 matches and won two Polish championships and one cup. In 2020, he transferred to Olympiacos Piraeus, where he was part of a double-winning squad. The move to Limassol is viewed as a high-profile reinforcement for the team as they look to strengthen their midfield axis for the upcoming season.

While details regarding the specific length of the contract were not disclosed, the announcement confirms the completion of the transfer process, marking a significant addition to the squad's roster as the team prepares for its competitive engagements.
