Alisson has faced criticism, but set to play a bigger role at Sporting | OneFootball

Alisson Santos is about to start a new chapter at Sporting. The Lions’ new signing is still trying to convince Rui Borges that he deserves more minutes in the Club’s first team, and he ended up being the main beneficiary of the latest transfer window.

According to information reported by the newspaper O Jogo, given the failures of the green and white SAD, who were unable to secure the signings of Jota Silva, Kevin, or Yeremay Hernández, the former União de Leiria player will become a more regular option.

Without these three players, who would have joined Sporting to fill the left winger position, Alisson Santos is expected to gain new prominence in Rui Borges’ eyes, since the 22-year-old is the only natural alternative to Pedro Gonçalves on the left flank of the green and white attack.

Thus, the coach from Mirandela is not letting go of his ‘number 27’, in a scenario that turns out to be similar to that of Matheus Reis. The Brazilian full-back was linked with a departure during the last transfer window, but by the coach’s decision, he will remain on the green and white SAD’s roster.

Despite being a regular pick in Rui Borges’ squads, Alisson Santos – valued at 1.5 million euros – has not been a regular choice at the start of this season. Since arriving at Sporting, the Brazilian winger has only played 10 minutes, across two matches, against Arouca and Porto.
