Filipe da Cunha Correia started his football adventure in Braga's youth teams. He did not do too well on the Portuguese pitches, so on July 1, 2022, Nene moved to Jagielloni Białystok from CD Santa Clara on a free transfer. Its market value skyrocketed. All thanks to the spectacular goals the midfielder scored several in the colors of the top league team.
It's official. Nene leaves Jagiellonia
Last season, Nene won the Polish championship with Jagiellonia. He was one of the pillars of Adrian Siemieniec's team. He recorded as many as 38 appearances, in which he scored 11 times. He also added nine assists. The ongoing campaign was no different. During the autumn round, the 29-year-old managed to play in a total of 26 matches. During this time, he scored four goals and made the last three passes to his teammates who were finalizing the actions.
As Sebastian Staszewski reported, the Portuguese had wanted to leave Białystok for a long time and did not intend to extend his expiring contract. On Wednesday afternoon, Jagiellonia officially announced via social media that Nene had left the club. For about PLN 400,000. euro moved to the Chinese team Yunnan Yukun.
“Thank you for everything. Good luck in your future career!” – we read on the profile of the Polish champion. In his almost three-year adventure with Jagiellonia, Filipe da Cunha Correia played a total of 96 matches for the Białystok club, scoring 20 goals and making 15 assists. Ekstraklasa fans will certainly remember him for several really impressive long-range goals.
Currently, Jagiellonia's authorities are looking for a successor to the 29-year-old as a defensive midfielder. In the recently ended season, Nene's new club took first place in the Chinese Liga Jia, thanks to which it was promoted to the first level of the competition, the Super League. Interestingly, he will be only the third foreigner in the newcomer's entire team. In Poland, the Portuguese even had his own song. – I want to give you this song on a CD with my autograph – Zenon Martyniuk himself said to the footballer.
