Romário Manuel Silva Baró (born 25 January 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Primeira Liga club Porto. Born in Guinea-Bissau, Baró represented Portugal internationally at youth level.

Club career

Born in Bissau in Guinea-Bissau, Baró played in Sporting CP's youth teams before joining FC Porto in 2014.[1] He made his professional debut for the reserves in LigaPro on 21 January 2018, playing the last three minutes of a 1–1 home draw against F.C. Arouca as a substitute for Rui Moreira.[2] He made ten appearances over the season and scored once, to open a 3–0 win over S.C. Covilhã on 18 March, also at the Estádio Dr. Jorge Sampaio.[3]

In the 2018–19 UEFA Youth League, Baró scored six goals in ten appearances as Porto won the title. In the final, he assisted Afonso Sousa for the last goal of a 3–1 win over Chelsea in Nyon, Switzerland.[4] With the B-team in the second division, he scored four goals in 28 games over the season, and was sent off for dissent on 1 September 2018 in a 2–1 home win over Académico de Viseu FC.[5]

Baró was given the first team's number 8 shirt ahead of the 2019–20 season, inheriting it from Yacine Brahimi.[6] He made his debut in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round first leg on 7 August, starting in a 1–0 win away to FC Krasnodar and making way for Luis Díaz on 55 minutes.[7] Ten days later he played his first game in the Primeira Liga, again starting a 4–0 home win against Vitória FC.[8]

On 1 September 2021, he joined Estoril in the Primeira Liga on loan.[9]

International career

Baró has represented Portugal at various youth levels.[10] At the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, where Portugal finished as runners-up to Germany, he appeared in quarterfinal and semifinal games.[11]
