Portuguese Primeira Liga club SC Braga have completed the signing of highly rated Nigerian teenage defender Adebisi Olamikun from Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side Inter Lagos.
Inter Lagos confirmed the transfer in a statement posted on its official X account, announcing the departure of the promising 18-year-old centre-back after his impressive rise through the club’s ranks.
Reports indicate that Olamikun has signed a long-term contract with Braga in a deal valued at approximately €50,000.
The left-footed defender has already arrived in Portugal, where he is expected to begin his development with Braga’s youth setup as he works towards earning promotion to the club’s first team.
Olamikun attracted widespread attention during his time at Inter Lagos with a series of composed defensive displays, earning recognition as one of Nigeria’s brightest young defensive prospects. His ability to read the game, confidence on the ball and maturity beyond his years made him one of the standout young talents in the NPFL.
His transfer further strengthens Inter Lagos’ growing reputation as a breeding ground for emerging talent, with the club continuing to produce players capable of making the transition to European football.
According to Transfermarkt, Olamikun becomes the eighth Nigerian player to join SC Braga, following in the footsteps of several compatriots, including former Super Eagles defender and 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner Elderson Echiejile, who previously represented the Portuguese outfit.
The move marks another significant milestone in Olamikun’s young career and offers him the opportunity to continue his development in one of Europe’s respected talent-producing clubs, while reinforcing the increasing pathway for Nigerian players into top European leagues.
