Career

Born in Porto and of Mozambican descent, [2] Sualehe was on the books of several clubs as a youth, including Sporting CP and Belenenses in Lisbon, and FC Porto and Boavista in his hometown. He took part with Porto under-19 in the UEFA Youth League in 2015–16. [3]

In July 2016, Sualehe ended his three-year spell at Porto by signing a five-year contract at Sporting with a release clause of €45 million. [4] On 6 August, he made his professional debut with Sporting B in a 2016–17 LigaPro match against Portimonense, playing the first 73 minutes of a 2–1 home loss before being substituted for Bubacar Djaló. [5]

On 30 August 2018, Sualehe signed a three-year deal at Vitória de Guimarães, being again assigned to the reserve team in the second tier. [6] A year later, after relegation, he was loaned to Farense in the same league. [7]

Sualehe moved to Primeira Liga club Paços de Ferreira on 1 September 2020, having contributed to Farense's promotion to the top flight. [8] Nearly exactly a year later, having not played any games for the Castores, he was loaned to second-tier Académica de Coimbra. [9]

On 12 July 2022, Sualehe left Portugal for the first time in his career, signing a two-year deal with the option of a third at Olimpija Ljubljana in the Slovenian PrvaLiga. [10] He played 30 times in his first season, scoring once on 16 April 2023 to open a 2–0 home win over Maribor in the Eternal derby and win the title with five games remaining; the 20-metre strike was his first goal in 123 senior league appearances in his career. [11] With a 2–1 extra time win over the same opponents in the cup final, the team secured a double. [12]

Personal life

In January 2022, Sualehe's €100,000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class was stolen in Coimbra. It was found by the National Republican Guard in Vila das Aves, abandoned. [13]
