Recently, Sporting beat Nacional 2-0 at Alvalade, and one of the main talking points from the match was Sergi Altimira’s performance. The midfielder once again played an important role in Sporting’s midfield, in a match where Rui Borges’ side secured yet another consecutive league win.

Eduardo Garcia, son of Eduardo Barroso, took to social media to praise the former Betis holding midfielder’s performances: "Easy. Great start to the season", he wrote on his X account while commenting on a post about Altimira.

The 25-year-old arrived at Sporting with the responsibility of succeeding Morten Hjulmand in midfield, but his adaptation has been swift. The Spaniard started in the first five league matches, has already scored, and has been taking on increasing importance both on and off the pitch.

Signed from Betis for a fixed fee of €18.25 million, plus €2 million in add-ons, Altimira is already beginning to justify Sporting’s investment. He is under contract until 2031, has an €80 million release clause, and is now preparing to take another major step, with his Sporting Champions League debut drawing ever closer.
