3–0 home win on 17 April. Braga In January 2017, fellow top-flight team Braga announced the signings of Fransérgio and teammate Dyego Sousa for the new season, taking him on a five-year contract and giving Marítimo a share of any subsequent transfer. He made his debut on 27 July in a 1–1 draw away to Sweden's AIK in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round first leg, his first game in European competition. He played nine games and scored four times in that continental campaign, including two in a 3–1 home win over Hoffenheim in the last group game on 23 November. On 13 September 2019, Fransérgio received a straight red card at the end of a 1–0 loss at Vitória de Setúbal for attempting to strike José Semedo; the offence was caught by a video assistant referee. He played four matches of their victorious Taça da Liga campaign, scoring in a 4–1 final group game win over Paços de Ferreira on 22 December, and on 12 February 2020 he extended his contract until 2024 with a buyout clause of €20 million. On 25 October 2020, Fransérgio was sent off for his part in a melée after David Carmo had been dismissed for a foul on Marcus Edwards in a 1–0 derby win at Vitória de Guimarães; the Braga pair were suspended for three games and opponent Jorge Fernandes for two. Days later, he was diagnosed with COVID-19, and missed the Europa League game against Leicester City as a result. He ended the season as a national cup winner, having scored an equaliser in the 12th minute of added time in the first leg of the semi-finals against Porto. In one of his final matches, the 2021 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira on 31 July, he scored to open a 2–1 loss to Sporting CP at the Estádio Municipal de Aveiro. Bordeaux On 25 August 2021, Fransérgio signed a three-year contract for Bordeaux. The initial transfer fee was €4.5 million, with a potential €3 million in addition according to clauses. He made his Ligue 1 debut three days later in a 4–0 loss at Nice. Bordeaux ended the season relegated for the first time in 30 years; local newspaper Sud-Ouest named him one of the three biggest disappointments on the team alongside Marcelo and M'Baye Niang, with an average match rating of 3.1 out of 10.
