Leonino exclusive - Rui Borges unconvinced, Sporting man off in summer | OneFootball

Sporting are already beginning to prepare changes to the squad for the next summer transfer window, and one of the names under internal evaluation is Kauã Oliveira. The Brazilian midfielder, who signed permanently until 2030, is not in Rui Borges’ plans and is heading for the exit door, Leonino has learned.

According to what our newspaper has found out, his development has not fully matched what the technical structure had expected. Despite the investment made and the long-term commitment, the player has not yet managed to establish himself consistently, not even as a regular starter for the B team.

Given this scenario, Sporting are considering reassessing the player’s situation as early as the next summer market. As part of the squad restructuring plan, Kauã Oliveira will be one of the players placed on the market, since he will not be an option for Rui Borges.

Sporting’s SAD continues to focus on careful squad management and does not rule out significant changes, especially involving players who have not yet fully established themselves. The future of the 22-year-old player is unlikely to be with the green-and-white club.

In the current 2025/26 season, Kauã Oliveira - valued at €200,000 - has taken part in 20 matches for Sporting: 12 for the B team and eight for the under-23s. The midfielder, who made his first-team debut last season, has scored two goals in 1,062 minutes played.
