Gonçalo Monteiro blames key Sporting figure: should've apologised | OneFootball

The situation of Luis Suárez at Sporting continues to generate discussion, especially after the controversy involving the Colombian striker and a candidate for the Fenerbahçe presidency. Gonçalo Monteiro analyzed the case and considered that, although the player was transparent in admitting that this scenario existed, the timing he chose to speak about the matter deserves to be questioned.

The commentator highlighted precisely the fact that the player only addressed the situation publicly after the transfer window had closed. In his view, the striker clearly intended to leave Alvalade if a concrete opportunity arose.

Gonçalo Monteiro also felt that Suárez’s connection to the Fenerbahçe presidential candidate ultimately put the player in a delicate position with Sporting’s fans. In that sense, he argued that the Colombian international should have taken a different approach.

"Should he have apologized to Sporting’s members and fans? Yes," the coach said on the Now channel, considering it understandable that a footballer seeks to improve his financial conditions, but believing that this does not remove the need to respect the club he represents.
