WATCH: Gotta Catch ´Em All – Braga coach captures Viana signing

Hours of button-mashing on Pokemon paid off for Braga as they successfully negotiated the permanent signing of Bruno Viana.

Wacky videos announcing transfers are all the rage this season and the Portuguese side might have topped the lot as they released details of the on-loan defender’s permanent move from Olympiacos.

In a short video posted to Braga’s Twitter page, a “loaned Bruno Viana” appeared before head coach and Pokemon collector and Abel Ferreira, who then sought to negotiate with the defender.

After a short battle in which Ferreira used his leadership and empathic skills and Viana responded with a show of his strength, the player “became convinced” and signed a five-year deal.

Might Vasco da Gama defender Yago Pikachu be Ferreira’s next target..?

A época ainda não acabou, mas já estamos em modo “vamos apanhá-los todos” no que toca a reforços para 2018/19
