Bernardo Palmeiro reveals Sporting's transfer moves: We made some... | OneFootball

Bernardo Palmeiro assures that Sporting’s squad will be complete with the imminent arrival of Souleymane Faye, winger from Granada, in a deal expected to be finalized in the coming days – and which, by all indications, has made new progress in recent hours.

On the sidelines of the Portuguese Cup semi-final draw, the club’s sporting director dismissed the possibility of strengthening the defense, despite recent injuries to Eduardo Quaresma and Ousmane Diomande, the latter confirmed by Rui Borges in the preview of the Casa Pia match.

“We made some adjustments with Luís Guilherme and we are negotiating with another player whom we hope to finalize in the next few days. The squad will be closed, unless we have a departure. We were unlucky with Quaresma in the League Cup, and the same with Diomande. I believe we won’t need a defensive reinforcement. We are satisfied with the squad we have put together, we’ll go with what we have,” said Bernardo Palmeiro.

The green and whites are very close to securing Souleymane Faye, 22 years old, for a fee of around 6.5 million euros, with only final details left to settle: “It’s a matter of negotiations for a few more days,” concluded the sporting director of Sporting.
