Amorim’s Sporting gamble eyes more minutes under Rui Borges: ready | OneFootball

Bruno Ramos, young central defender for Sporting, says he is ready to get minutes with the first team. The 20-year-old athlete was given his debut for the Lions by Ruben Amorim in 2024, against Portimonense in the Portuguese Cup, and has been playing for the B team. Now, he shows himself available to be an option for Rui Borges.

"It was fantastic! For me, it’s a dream come true even though I didn’t get on the pitch. I’ve also had the opportunity to play for the first team in the Portuguese Cup [Portimonense in 2024/25] and that was already memorable. Now, being there with the group, listening to that anthem was the fulfillment of yet another dream," said Bruno Ramos, commenting on being included in the squad for the match against Juventus.

"I have been playing for the B team and I’m always training with the first team. When I get the opportunity, I am ready. I remain prepared for both opportunities. I like to play and I am focused on that", concluded Bruno Ramos, the 20-year-old Brazilian central defender for Sporting who was introduced by Ruben Amorim.

As of today, for the central defense position, Rui Borges counts on Ousmane Diomande, Gonçalo Inácio, Eduardo Quaresma, and Zeno Debast (injured). In January, the first of Sporting’s central defenders will leave for AFCON, which could open a window of opportunity for Bruno Ramos, even though the Lions are considering going to the market.
