Leonino exclusive - Olympiacos join race for Sporting's €m man | OneFootball

Olympiacos have joined the race for Georgios Vagiannidis, Leonino knows. The right-back is one of the players who could leave Sporting at the end of the current season and is beginning to stir up the market in Greece, the country he represents internationally and where he is highly rated.

In his debut season at Alvalade, the Greek international was unable to establish himself as a starter. In addition, Iván Fresneda remains an important part of the squad and the Lions' coach does not intend to part with the Spaniard, a scenario that further reduces the space available for the wing-back.

Despite being open to a loan move, Sporting do not intend to give up on the Greek permanently. The green-and-white SAD believes that a return to Greece could allow the defender to gain competitive rhythm and confidence in a familiar environment, while keeping open the possibility of him having another opportunity at Alvalade in the future.
