Attention! Romanian striker on Sporting's radar | OneFootball

Adrian Mazilu is being linked with Sporting by the Romanian press. The 20-year-old winger has been identified by the green-and-whites as a player for the future and could strengthen the Alvalade club’s setup as early as this summer transfer window.

According to reports coming from Romania, Sporting’s idea would be to initially integrate the player into the B team. Even so, the Lions’ officials believe in the player’s potential and are not ruling out a promotion to the first team squad if he can show enough quality to convince Rui Borges.

Mazilu mainly plays on the right flank and is considered one of the brightest prospects in Romanian football. He currently belongs to Dinamo Bucharest, the club that recently confirmed the appointment of Portuguese coach Nuno Campos to lead the first team.

The winger rose to prominence while playing for Farul during the 2022/23 season, performances that led Brighton to invest around three million euros in signing him. After that, the player was loaned back to the Romanian club and also spent time at Vitesse, before joining the English side’s under-21 team.

Last season, he featured in 14 official matches, but was unable to score any goals. Even so, he is still seen as a player with room for development and a profile that fits Sporting’s policy of recruiting young talents with strong resale potential.
