is getting closer and closer to leaving Sporting and the destination should indeed be Olympiacos. Negotiations between the two clubs have progressed, and there is already an agreement in place for the transfer of the midfielder developed in Alcochete.

The deal could bring in between €8 million and €10 million, according to journalist Ekrem Konur. The Greeks’ interest is not exactly new, as the Hellenic club, which finished 18th in the league phase of the last Champions League edition, had already been mentioned as one of the sides interested in the player, just like Braga.

The situation at Alvalade also helps explain why things are nearing a conclusion. The midfielder is not part of Rui Borges’ plans and is reportedly training individually while waiting for his future to be resolved. The departure is therefore gaining momentum at a time when Sporting have reshaped their midfield for the new season.

The 27-year-old midfielder is a product of Sporting’s academy and spent most of his career linked to the Club, while also having loan spells at Farense and Estoril. Last season, he made 24 appearances, scored six goals and provided one assist.

Sporting and Olympiacos are said to be close to completing the transfer, putting Daniel Bragança on the verge of a new stage in his career and allowing the Lions to cash in on a player who was once regarded as one of the standout products of the Alcochete academy.
