Exclusive Leonino – Varandas makes call on Vagiannidis’ future at Sporting | OneFootball

The Sporting management, led by Frederico Varandas, maintains full confidence in Vagiannidis. The Greek international right-back arrived at Alvalade this summer to enhance coach Rui Borges' options on the right flank of the lions.

Our Journal reports, in this Exclusive Leonino, that Sporting firmly maintains its investment in the player who operates on the right side of the green and white defense. It should be recalled that the lions had already tried to sign Vagiannidis in the past, but the player only arrived at Alvalade last summer.

After a complicated deal with Panathinaikos, which saw the player move to Sporting for amounts around 12 to 14 million euros, Vagiannidis has not yet secured a starting position in the green and white team, having shared playing time with Iván Fresneda - who ended the derby very frustrated.

Sporting's officials believe, however, that Vagiannidis is merely going through an adaptation period to a new football reality, and that he will reach his full potential in green and white. Therefore, the investment and confidence in the player signed this summer remain at 100%.

Leonino knows, and reports exclusively, that the idea of losing Vagiannidis does not even cross the mind of the management led by Frederico Varandas. The green and whites believe that the player will become very important for Rui Borges' team, especially as an option with greater offensive capability for Sporting's right flank.
