Guilherme Fernandes backs move for Sporting target: perfect fit | OneFootball

Guilherme Fernandes, Real Valladolid's goalkeeper, has no doubt that Sergi Altimira has what it takes to thrive at Sporting, assuring that the midfielder “can fit perfectly into Sporting’s style of play”. Even so, he acknowledges that the possible mission of succeeding Morten Hjulmand represents a highly demanding challenge.

Recalling their time together at Betis, the goalkeeper, who is on loan from the Seville side, highlights the player’s emergence in a highly competitive environment, stressing that “for a coach like Manuel Pellegrini, who usually prefers more experienced players, to bet on him is a sign that he has quality”, he told the newspaper 'Record'.

Regarding the midfielder’s path, Guilherme Fernandes points to his steady development, explaining that “Sergi is a young player who has experienced rapid and consistent growth. In a short time, he earned minutes in a midfield packed with established players”.

Even so, the former Sporting youth player warns of the difficulties of a possible transfer, saying that “Betis has been growing steadily. They will have the ambition to keep their best players and take them to the biggest stages. Replacing the captain could be complicated, but it may be within his reach”.
