Daniel Bragança still has no solution for leaving Sporting and is beginning to show some impatience with the drawn-out process. The 27-year-old midfielder reports daily to the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, but remains out of Rui Borges’ plans and training apart from the group.
Unlike Pedro Gonçalves, whose move to Al Ittihad is on track and is only waiting for the process to be cleared in Saudi Arabia, Bragança’s future remains far more uncertain. The ‘number 23’ still has no agreed destination to continue his career.
Olympiakos had shown willingness to invest up to €10 million in the Portugal under-21 international, but their interest has cooled. The Greeks have meanwhile strengthened their midfield with Gustavo Sá and Remo Freuler, although the possibility of moving for Bragança has not been completely ruled out.
Without a single minute in official matches at the start of this season, after scoring four goals in three pre-season friendlies, Daniel Bragança has been putting pressure on his representatives to find a solution before the transfer window closes.
Jorge Mendes is responsible for finding a club for the midfielder, who remains among Sporting’s group of captains despite no longer being part of Rui Borges’ plans. With the market approaching the final stretch, Bragança is now hoping that an alternative emerges quickly to put an end to the deadlock.
