Leonino exclusive - Sporting warn player they won't tolerate strops | OneFootball

Sporting are preparing for the start of the 2026/27 season with increased attention on Chris Grombahi's return to Alvalade, after his spell at Club Brugge, in a context where the club’s structure intends to ensure the young forward’s balanced integration into his development path.

According to information gathered by Leonino, the Alvalade club wants to clearly define from the outset the framework surrounding the 17-year-old player, expecting a serious response focused on daily work, with no room for less committed behaviour or distractions.

According to what our newspaper has learned, the Lions do not intend to make exceptions or speed up stages in the winger’s development, understanding that the forward’s progress depends exclusively on the performance and attitude shown in training and in team B competitions.

Sporting stresses internally that any academy player must respect the hierarchy and the competitive model in place, and that progression to higher levels will always be a direct consequence of performances on the pitch.

Thus, Grombahi’s future at Alvalade will depend on how he responds to this new cycle, with the club demanding total commitment and a consistently professional attitude so that he can continue to be part of Sporting’s project in the medium and long term.
