Short description
Eduardo Quaresma made his debut for Portuguese giants Sporting at the age of 18, having spent 10 years progressing through the capital club’s youth ranks. After making 12 appearances for the Lisbon outfit’s first team, the central defender completed a loan switch to fellow Portuguese top-flight team Tondela, for whom he made 25 league appearances and scored two goals. He was also an important component of the side that reached the domestic cup final for the first time, where Tondela suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Porto. The Portugal youth international moved to TSG Hoffenheim on loan in the summer of 2022.
