Sotiris Alexandropoulos is set to bring his connection withSporting to an end. The Greek midfielder, who has not been part of the Lions' plans for several seasons, is preparing to leave Alvalade permanently, after being sent out on loan consecutively.

Gençlerbirligi have already reached an agreement to move forward with the signing of the player, who is said to have been given permission to head to his new club. The figures involved in the deal have not yet been disclosed.

The departure represents a change from what happened over the last three seasons, a period in which the midfielder was always out on loan. Alexandropoulos spent time at three different clubs during that stretch, without managing to win back a place in Sporting’s plans.

Now, at 24, the Greece international is preparing to begin a new chapter in his career in the Turkish league. Gençlerbirligi managed to secure survival in the top flight last season, finishing with 34 points, two above the relegation zone.

He knocked out Galatasaray before being eliminated by Trabzonspor, who went on to win the trophy, after a 2-1 defeat.
