Daniel Bragança is unhappy with the way he has been treated by Sporting in this final stage of his spell with the Club, Leonino has learned. The 27-year-old midfielder already understands that he is not part of Rui Borges’ plans and is not hiding some disappointment with the way the whole process has been handled.

According to what our newspaper has learned, the player accepts that his time in Alvalade is close to an end and has been looking for a solution to continue his career, but he expected different treatment from those in charge of the green-and-whites, given his long connection to Sporting and the path he has followed since the academy.

Bragança completed pre-season under Rui Borges and even showed promising signs in the friendlies, but he has not been an option in official matches. The midfielder continues to work while awaiting a decision, at a time when a departure is seen by all parties as the most likely scenario.

Torino and PAOK have been in the race for the 'number 23'. The Italians are said to have already submitted an offer to Sporting, while the Thessaloniki club has also shown interest and could make a move, leaving the Portuguese international’s future dependent on an agreement in the final days of the transfer window.

He joined Sporting as a child and came through virtually the entire academy before establishing himself in the first team. His likely farewell to Alvalade therefore carries extra emotional weight for the midfielder, who had hoped to bring this long connection with the Club to a close in a different way.
