Barcelona in Tondela to watch Sporting starter, Catalans not alone | OneFootball

Several European clubs were present in Tondela to observe Sporting players. The Lions defeated the Beirões 3-0 in the ninth round of the National Championship, under the watchful eyes of Barcelona, Elche, and Almería (Spain), Bournemouth (England), and Vizela (Portugal).

According to information reported by the newspaper Record, the aforementioned clubs sent scouts to Estádio João Cardoso on Sunday afternoon-evening, with the main highlight being the presence of scouts from the Blaugrana side.

Barcelona has been evaluating some Sporting players, with special attention to Gonçalo Inácio. The center-back is of interest to Hansi Flick, coach of the Catalans, and Deco, sporting director at Camp Nou, has reportedly already contacted the defender's representatives.

As for the other clubs present, the reason for their visit to Tondela's ground is unknown. Almería is still set to receive 5.2 million euros if Luis Suárez meets certain objectives established when the Colombian joined Sporting.

Sporting will be back on the pitch as early as Tuesday, October 28, against Alverca. The match, counting for the quarter-finals of the League Cup, against the team led by Custódio, will take place at Estádio José Alvalade at 8:15 pm.
