Breaking! New signing is in Alvalade to join Sporting | OneFootball

Moncef Zekri is getting ever closer to being officially announced as a Sporting signing. The Moroccan left-back is already at José Alvalade Stadium, where he will complete the final procedures before the green-and-whites make the announcement.

Zekri had landed in Lisbon late on Sunday afternoon and has now headed to Alvalade after completing the usual procedures related to the club switch. The deal is therefore on the verge of being made official.

Sporting will pay Mechelen around €3.5 million upfront for the young Moroccan international, with the deal potentially also including additional amounts tied to objectives being met. The Lions beat competition from other European clubs to secure the player.

The left-footer arrives to fill the spot left by Ricardo Mangas on the left side of the defence and will serve as an alternative to Maxi Araújo. Despite being only 17 years old, Moncef Zekri will now be developed by Rui Borges at Alvalade.
