Braga Medeiros returned to Portugal on 28 July 2020, agreeing to a one-year loan at S.C. Braga with an option to buy. He won the Taça de Portugal in his first season, scoring in a 7–0 victory at Clube Olímpico do Montijo in the fourth round on 14 December.

On 29 January 2021, Medeiros suffered a severe left knee sprain in a Taça da Liga match against C.D. Santa Clara, ruling him out for six months. Nonetheless, he was rewarded in April for his six goals and five assists with a five-year contract; the fee was €800,000 and the buyout clause €30 million.

Medeiros scored and set up Ricardo Horta on 24 February 2022 as Braga turned around a deficit against FC Sheriff Tiraspol in the last 32 of the UEFA Europa League. On 14 April, in extra time during the second leg of quarter-final against Rangers, he was sent off for dissent after shouting at referee François Letexier who had booked him for a late challenge on Leon Balogun; as a result, he was not selected by coach Carlos Carvalhal for the next league fixture in order to "reflect upon his actions".

Later career On 23 June 2023, Medeiros signed for Al-Nasr SC for a fee of €3 million. He remained abroad the following seasons, with Hapoel Be'er Sheva F.C. in the Israeli Premier League and Újpest FC in the Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság I.

International career Medeiros participated in two UEFA European Under-21 Championship editions with Portugal. In 2015, he collected four substitute appearances for the runners-up.
