Eduardo Quaresma, born on 2 March 2002 (age 24), is a Portuguese central defender whose senior career has been centred on Sporting CP. He is valued at around £15.5m by Transfermarkt, which says enough about his standing without needing to turn him into something he is not.
Sporting has been the main line through his development. Across six seasons with the Lisbon club, Quaresma has made 71 league appearances and scored four league goals. For a defender still in his mid-twenties, that is a solid body of work at a club where patience with young centre-halves is not always lavishly distributed.
The useful detour came at Tondela in 2021-22, where he played 25 league matches and scored twice. That spell gave him regular senior football away from Sporting’s sharper glare, and it remains his most productive league season in front of goal.
In 2026-27, Quaresma has made four Liga Portugal appearances for Sporting CP. His career to this point is straightforward enough: formed around Sporting, helped by a meaningful loan at Tondela, and still being written in Lisbon.
