Deal done! Fabrizio Romano says Sporting target set for loan | OneFootball

Javi López is very close to joining Feyenoord and is expected to continue his career in the Netherlands. The Spanish left-back had been linked with Sporting in recent days, at a time when the Lions are looking for an alternative to Maxi Araújo.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the player will leave Real Sociedad on loan, with the Rotterdam club holding an option to buy. Javi López is expected to travel soon to undergo the usual medical tests and complete the transfer.

The 24-year-old defender is therefore preparing for his first experience in the Eredivisie, where he will come across familiar names from Portuguese football. Jeremiah St. Juste, Casper Tengstedt and Gonçalo Borges are part of Feyenoord’s squad.

Last season, Javi López was on loan at Real Oviedo, making 26 appearances and providing one assist. The club ended up being relegated from La Liga and the Spaniard returned to Real Sociedad without featuring in Pellegrino Matarazzo’s plans.

Real Sociedad had invested €6.5 million in signing the full-back from Deportivo Alavés. Although he was linked with Sporting, Javi López now looks set for Feyenoord, with the Lions still searching for a full-back.
