Matías Galarza has returned to Sporting’s agenda in the final stretch of this summer’s transfer window. The green-and-whites have revived their interest in the midfielder and are now close to reaching an agreement to bring the player, who belongs to River Plate, to Alvalade.
The information was reported by Salvador Hicar, via ‘Pasión Estudio’. According to the same source, Sporting have already submitted a concrete offer and negotiations have progressed to the point that a transfer is currently close for the footballer who was on loan at Atlanta United. Apparently, the player refused to return to training with the Argentinians and his future remains uncertain at this stage.
There is a possibility that Galarza could travel to Portugal before that date to complete the move to the Lions.
Sporting have thus brought back a name that had already been identified by the club’s structure, but had meanwhile lost momentum. The SAD has now moved again for the midfielder and, this time, with a formal offer to try to complete the deal.
