Exclusive: Sporting act after Daniel Bragança’s long absence | OneFootball

Sporting will renew the contract with Daniel Bragança. As revealed in our exclusive Leonino Journal, the management led by Frederico Varandas wants to give a huge vote of confidence and show that they believe in the 'number 23' of the green and whites.

According to information gathered from a source close to the process, the injury sustained by Daniel Bragança does not shake the confidence of the management. However, Sporting wants, with the contract extension, to show the player that he is part of the plans for the next season.

Bragança's injury occurred in February 2025, at a time when the left-footer was having the best season of his career in individual terms. With a contract valid until 2027, it is possible that the vice-captain of the lions will extend the connection for another three years.

The knee problem will keep Daniel Bragança out for a few more months. The Sporting player is only expected to be an option for Rui Borges at the end of the season, although he is already running on the field and doing ball exercises.

In 2024/25, wearing the Sporting jersey, Daniel Bragança – valued at 12 million euros – played 29 matches: 18 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, eight in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In the 1,590 minutes played, he scored four goals and made nine assists.
