there is still no solution for him to leave Sporting, and he is beginning to show some impatience with the drawn-out process. The midfielder is not part of Rui Borges' plans and has not been called up for official matches. Carlos André believes the Club is "pushing" the player towards the exit door.
"It seems to me that they are pushing Daniel Bragança a little bit out of the Club. What it seems to me is that, if he is not a world-class player, a top European player, who can play for top clubs in the Big Five, then why not choose for Daniel Bragança to be a Sporting-type player, someone who will pass on the club's DNA to his teammates?", he said on BOLA TV.
The journalist reinforced his opinion. "He was almost always captain in the youth ranks, he has already come through serious injuries and always returned well. Last season, when he came back, he scored as well. It seems to me a little that they are pushing the player out", he added.
. As his contract runs until June 2027, the green-and-white officials have lowered their demands and are currently willing to negotiate for between eight and 10 million euros.
