Rui Borges tells Varandas who he wants to sign for Sporting | OneFootball

Rui Borges has clearly defined the reinforcements he wants for his team in the January transfer market, having even informed Sporting about the needs he has been analyzing. However, the Lions’ board has already made it clear that there will be no major spending.

According to the newspaper A Bola, although cautious, the Green and Whites understand the gaps in the first-team squad, but they plan to spend little, since in the summer the amount that left the Clube de Alvalade’s coffers was almost 80 million euros.

Even so, the same source reveals that Sporting will go after a winger, after the ‘failure’ with Jota Silva that marked the month of August. Rui Borges still wants a player in the mold of Pedro Gonçalves, that is, right-footed and able to play on the right, with the ability to attack advanced areas and help the center forward.

However, this is not the only position in sight, despite being the most ‘urgent’. It seems that Rui Borges would also like to have another high-intensity midfielder; however, this is not seen as a priority, since João Simões’s development until January will also be assessed.

Sporting will only return to the pitch on Saturday, October 18, against Paços de Ferreira. The match, part of the third round of the Taça de Portugal, against the side led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at the Estádio Capital do Móvel at 8:15 p.m.
