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

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

The 25-year-old footballer arrived at Sporting with the responsibility of succeeding Morten Hjulmand in midfield, but his adaptation has been quick. The Spaniard started in the first five league rounds, has already scored, and has been taking on more and more 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 now 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 important step, with his Sporting Champions League debut drawing ever closer.
