Adin Licina seems to be increasingly an impossible dream for Sporting. The young 18-year-old player, who plays for Bayern Munich II and has already represented Germany's U-19 team, is on the radar of the Lions, but our Newspaper reveals, in this Exclusive Leonino, that his signing will be very complicated.

News about Sporting's interest in Adin Licina recently appeared in the international press. The Lions have neither confirmed nor denied this interest, but they have learned that they face strong competition for the player, including Inter Milan, Juventus, or AC Milan, among others.

Sporting, it should be remembered, recently played against Bayern Munich, which holds Adin Licina's transfer rights. It was reported that Frederico Varandas had traveled to Germany earlier than expected due to professional commitments, and it was speculated that the deal for the 18-year-old player might be one of those reasons. However, no news has pointed in that direction so far.

The truth is that the situation of the 18-year-old winger is difficult to resolve. Despite being aware of the interest from several clubs, Bayern Munich has not yet given up on renewing the young player's contract. If they decide to sell his rights, they are unlikely to do so for less than three million euros, with national press indicating that AC Milan is the club best positioned to secure his signing.

Still, the current Bundesliga holder intends to include a future sale clause in the agreement with the winger's next club. In 2025/26, Adin Licina has played 18 games (14 with the B team and scored one goal) and four with the U-19s (one goal to his name).
