Rui Borges issues Sporting ultimatum before the league kick-off | OneFootball

Sporting intend to make concrete progress this week regarding the departures of Ousmane Diomande, Pedro Gonçalves and Daniel Bragança. The league opener is approaching, and Rui Borges wants to work only with the players who will actually be part of the squad.

According to Correio da Manhã, if negotiations do not progress in the coming days, the trio are expected to remain unavailable to the coach. The SAD does not want to take any physical risks that could jeopardize deals still being worked on in the market.

Diomande is waiting for the green light to join Nottingham Forest, with the two clubs trying to finalize the last details of the transfer. The centre-back had already been left out of the friendly against the English side and the training match against 1.º Dezembro.

Pedro Gonçalves continues to attract interest in Saudi Arabia, but neither Al Ahli nor Al Diriyah have so far submitted a formal offer to Sporting’s officials. Pote is therefore still waiting for developments that would allow him to seal a move away from Alvalade.

Sporting in this transfer window. With the opening match against Estrela da Amadora scheduled for Saturday, the Sporting hierarchy want to resolve the three cases quickly and hand Rui Borges a squad that is already settled.
