Fabrizio Romano: Sporting on verge of sealing Altimira | OneFootball

Deal almost done! Sporting are very close to securing the signing of Sergi Altimira. The news was reported by Fabrizio Romano, who reveals that the Lions have taken decisive steps in the negotiations and are leading the race for the Spanish midfielder.

The agreement between Sporting and Betis is at a very advanced stage, with only the final details left to be settled before the transfer is completed.

The same source adds that Altimira has already given the green light to the move to Alvalade, removing one of the main obstacles in the process. The Spanish international was also being tracked by Leipzig, but Sporting appear to have moved ahead of the German club.

The 24-year-old midfielder was seen by the structure led by Frederico Varandas as one of the main solutions to strengthen the midfield, especially with the possibility of Morten Hjulmand leaving the Club during this summer transfer window.

If the deal is completed as expected, Rui Borges will receive one of the most desired reinforcements for the new season. Sergi Altimira is therefore preparing to swap Betis for Sporting, in a transfer that could see definitive developments in the coming hours.
