Félix slams Afonso Moreira sale, says the star was shipped out of Sporting | OneFootball

Since leaving Sporting to join Lyon, Afonso Moreira has been one of the highlights of the French team. For Nuno Félix, an international scout, criticized the sale of the player for just 2 million euros and says that he was "shipped off" from the Alvalade Club.

In terms of sports performance, he highlights the influence of the winger in Paulo Fonseca's team: “High passing percentages in the final third, ability to create clear chances and consistent impact in more demanding games”, as reported in the newspaper 'Record'.

Regarding his departure from Sporting, Nuno Félix was incisive: “Fully trained at the Academy, a starter in all levels, captain in decisive stages of his formative journey, Moreira represented a zero-cost acquisition for Rui Borges' team”. Bargains!? Cheap? Even Amora sells partial sports rights of Catamo for more.”

The specialist also criticizes the Club's strategy after the sale, as Sporting spent almost 40 million on Biel, Alisson, Faye, and Luís Guilherme: “In light of the numbers he has been producing in Lyon, the decision proved to be damaging for Sporting, both in sports terms and financially highly questionable at the time. The most critical might even claim that Afonso Moreira was shipped off to Lyon to pave the way for these or other deals to take place”.

This season, wearing the Lyon jersey, Afonso Moreira - valued at 5 million euros - played 28 games: 19 in Ligue 1, six in the Europa League, and three in the French Cup. In his 1,546 minutes of play, the player scored six goals and made nine assists.
