Sporting wanted Famalicão starter, but he joins another club for €20m | OneFootball

Gustavo Sá has already left Famalicão’s pre-season training camp to complete his move to England. The attacking midfielder is on his way to Nottingham Forest in a deal that will allow the Minho club to pocket €20 million for the player, who was on Sporting’s radar.

. After completing that process, he will join the ‘Tricky Trees’ training camp, which is currently taking place in the Algarve.

Although he is being signed on a permanent deal, the player is not expected to stay in England at this stage. The plan is for him to be loaned to Olympiacos for one season, allowing the playmaker to continue his development with more playing time and competitive experience.

The departure marks a new step in Gustavo Sá’s career, after he stood out while playing for Famalicão and drew the attention of several clubs. The SAD, led by Miguel Ribeiro, thus secures a significant financial boost with the sale of the 21-year-old playmaker.

Nottingham Forest - who are close to signing Ousmane Diomande - continue to prepare for the new season in southern Portugal, with the side managed by Oliver Glasner remaining in the Algarve until the end of the month.
