Hidemasa Morita not interested in offers to leave Sporting | OneFootball

Hidemasa Morita enters the last six months of his contract with Sporting, a situation that allows him, from this moment, to listen to proposals to continue his career outside Alvalade. Nevertheless, it is known that the Japanese midfielder has asked his representative to delay any formal approach, demonstrating total focus on the team's sporting commitments at this stage of the season.

Morita's priority is to continue contributing to the goals set by Sporting, at a time when Rui Borges' team is fighting for qualification for the Champions League play-off, maintaining ambitions in the Portuguese Cup, and seeking to regain ground in the championship. The midfielder maintains a close relationship with the coach and is committed to finishing the season serving the lions.

At 30 years old, Morita has previously attracted interest from English clubs, although these approaches have not materialized into concrete proposals. The midfielder maintains the goal of one day playing in the Premier League, but at the moment, the focus is on concluding his time at Sporting in the best possible way and securing a spot in the next World Cup, where Japan will face the Netherlands, Tunisia, and a European team from the play-off.

Despite expressions of interest from the Middle East, particularly from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, Morita prioritizes continuing in European football. The future will be defined later, at a time considered more appropriate by the player.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Hidemasa Morita - valued at 11 million euros - has played 24 matches. At the start of the season, the Japanese international midfielder played a total of 1,048 minutes, in which he assisted his teammates on two occasions.
