Cristian Portugués Manzanera (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkɾistjam poɾtuˈɣes manθaˈneɾa]; [α] born 21 May 1992), commonly known as Portu ( [ˈpoɾtu]), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a winger for La Liga club Girona.
Born in Murcia, Portu was a product of Valencia CF's youth system. He made his senior debut with the reserves at only 17, going on to spend several seasons with the side in the Segunda División B as well as one in the Tercera División; in January 2012, he was called up by first-team manager Unai Emery due to a string of injuries. [2]
Portu played his first official game with the Che's main squad on 27 February 2014, coming on as a late substitute for fellow youth graduate Federico Cartabia in a 0–0 home draw against FC Dynamo Kyiv in the round of 32 of the UEFA Europa League. [3] His maiden appearance in La Liga came three days later, as he started and was booked in a 1–0 away loss to Rayo Vallecano. [4]
On 11 July 2014, it was announced that Valencia had sold Portu to Segunda División club Albacete Balompié with a buy-back option. [5] He scored his first professional goals on 18 October, netting a brace but in a 3–2 defeat at CD Mirandés. [6]
On 21 June 2016, after Alba's relegation, Portu signed a three-year deal with Girona FC also in the second tier. [7] He scored eight goals (also providing eight assists) in his first season, helping the Catalans to a first-ever top flight promotion. [8]
Portu bettered that total to 11 the following campaign, as Girona easily retained their league status. [9]
On 18 June 2019, Real Sociedad announced via their Twitter account that they had reached a preliminary agreement for the transfer of Portu for a fee of €10 million; [10] [11] the five-year contract was confirmed the same day. [12] He scored his first goal for his new team on 29 September, in a 3–2 away loss against Sevilla FC. [13]
On 21 June 2022, Portu joined Getafe CF on loan with an option to buy. [14] Exactly one year later, he signed a permanent three-year contract with the club. [15]
On 1 September 2023, Girona announced the return of Portu on a four-year deal. [16] He scored in his first appearance two days later, the game's only goal at home against UD Las Palmas. [17]
