Almost done! Gil Vicente winger awaits green light to sign for Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting are very close to completing the signing of Rodrigo Rodrigues. The 18-year-old winger is preparing to swap Gil Vicente for Alvalade, in a deal planned for the medium and long term by the structure led by Frederico Varandas. The final details of the financial agreement are being worked out, and the player is only waiting for the green light to head to Alvalade.

The young Portugal youth international is seen as a talent with room to develop and is expected, at least initially, to join the Lions’ B team. Rodrigo Rodrigues spent the last two seasons with Gil Vicente’s under-23s and even made five appearances for the club’s first team.

At the same time, Sporting and Gil Vicente are also negotiating the transfers of José Silva and David Moreira to Barcelos. The two full-backs, developed at Alcochete, have no room in the first-team squad and are expected to move in the opposite direction, with Sporting trying to safeguard a percentage of their economic rights in a future sale.

Negotiations between the two clubs are at an advanced stage, and the process is expected to be concluded in the coming days. Sporting’s aim is to secure a young attacker with potential for growth, without losing control over two academy assets.

Rodrigo Rodrigues fits into the strategy Sporting have been following for their secondary teams, focusing on young Portuguese players with room for development and the potential to reach the first team in the future. The deal is expected to be completed at the same time as the future of José Silva and David Moreira is decided.
