Just days after signing, Rodrigo Zalazar already slips from Sporting | OneFootball

Rodrigo Zalazar has just been announced as a new signing for Sporting and is already with the Uruguay national team. The attacking midfielder reported this Monday to the training camp of La Celeste, coached by Marcelo Bielsa, after finishing the season with Braga.

The Uruguay squad gathered last Friday, and Sporting’s new signing was one of the first internationals to arrive at the training center. Although Marcelo Bielsa has not yet officially announced the final squad list, Zalazar’s presence in training all but confirms the player’s call-up for the World Cup.

In addition to the playmaker, Maxi Araújo is also expected to be included in the South American national team’s selections, although the Sporting winger will only travel after playing in the Portuguese Cup final. Sporting will face Torreense next Sunday at 5:45 p.m. in what will be Rui Borges’ side’s final match of the season.

It should be remembered that Rodrigo Zalazar recently signed a contract with Sporting until 2030 in one of the most significant deals in the domestic market. The Lions will pay Braga €30 million for the playmaker, a fee that sets a new record for transfers between Portuguese clubs. The player is also protected by a release clause set at €80 million.

Going the other way is Diogo Travassos. The right-back developed in Sporting’s academy, who was on loan at Moreirense last season, joins Braga in a deal worth €5.5 million, with the possibility of bringing in another €1 million through previously agreed objectives.
