Tondela is set to strengthen its squad with the return of Rodrigo Cascavel, a player who shone during his loan at Académica. At just 21 years old, Cascavel had a productive season, scoring seven goals and providing five assists, which has generated great optimism within the auriverde structure. His experience at Académica, where he had the chance to play regularly, will be valuable for Tondela in the upcoming season. The player, who has previously been part of Tondela's squad, returns with an enhanced status and the expectation to significantly contribute to the club's goals. Tondela's management believes that Cascavel's talent could be an important differentiator in the fight for better results in the Primeira Liga in 2026/27.
