Angolan defender Antonio Hossi is being linked with a move from Petro Luanda to Portuguese side Arouca, with the Liga Portugal club monitoring the right-back’s situation closely. The 25-year-old, who plays as a right-back and is a senior Angola international, is currently valued at around €150,000 and has emerged as a potential low-cost option for the Primeira Liga outfit.
Hossi only joined Petro Luanda in July 2024 from domestic rivals 1o de Agosto, arriving as his stock began to rise in Angolan football. Since then he has gained valuable experience on the continental stage, making 19 appearances in the CAF Champions League and featuring regularly at right-back. His performances for Petro have underpinned his reputation as a dependable defensive option with exposure to high-intensity competition.
Arouca’s interest fits a broader trend of Portuguese clubs looking to African markets for value signings, with Hossi’s age and established role at one of Angola’s leading clubs making him a realistic target. Any deal would represent Hossi’s first move to Europe, following a career spent entirely in Angola after earlier spells with Academia Lobito and 1o de Agosto’s youth and senior sides.
Hossi’s current contract length at Petro Luanda has not been made public, but his recent move and rising market value suggest the Angolan champions are under no pressure to sell and would expect to be compensated appropriately if Arouca decide to formalise their interest.
