Sporting bid farewell to Conrad Harder. The 20-year-old Danish forward has moved to Leipzig, in the Bundesliga, a club with which he signed a contract valid until 2030. Mariana Vaz Pinto, former team manager of the women's football team, approved the sale of the player, stating that he showed "a lot of immaturity".

Mariana Vaz Pinto: "He always wanted to solve everything by himself"

"I go against the tide and think he was very well sold. It's true that he's a kid, but he always showed a lot of immaturity in the game without the ability to show he wants to learn. We should be grateful for everything he did for us, but he always wanted to solve everything by himself. Good luck"; it can be read on social media.

"Hello, Sporting fans. I just want to thank you for all the support. I am very happy for what you did for me, especially in this last game.
