Chris Grombahi, a 17-year-old winger from Sporting, is at the center of a possible transfer at the end of this January transfer window. After being promoted to the first team this season by Rui Borges, the young Ivorian is expected to leave Alvalade.

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Club Brugge has officially started talks to secure the player on loan. The proposal on the table consists of a loan with a non-mandatory purchase option, something that appeals to the Belgian club.

The interest arises at a time when the young gem of the Lions' club — who has already admitted to being a fan of Geovany Quenda — is still looking to secure a regular spot in the youth ranks, competing mainly for the under-23s, but with an appearance in the League Cup.

With a contract at Sporting until 2027, the loan with an option to buy would allow the player to gain minutes in a competitive foreign league. All indications are that the footballer’s future will indeed be in Belgian football starting next month.

In the current 2025/26 sports season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Chris Grombahi has played 17 games for the under-23 team (five goals), six for the juniors (one goal and one assist), and one for the first team. In total, the winger has played 1,596 minutes.
