Leonino exclusive: Sporting’s Flamengo signing pressures Kochorashvili | OneFootball

Rui Borges may come to bet on Rayan Lucas, a player on loan from Flamengo, for the future of Sporting’s team, Leonino has learned. This could end up threatening Giorgi Kochorashvili’s place, who joined the green and white team this summer.

According to information gathered by our newspaper, initially, the player was expected to play mainly for the B team, coached by João Gião. However, given the athlete’s performance and commitment during training sessions, Rui Borges is considering giving the footballer a chance.

At the end of last August, Rui Borges himself emphasized that the initial plan had not changed and that the player would remain with the secondary green and white squad. However, the scenario may change in the coming weeks, also due to a wave of injuries that is once again affecting the squad.

Although he has not yet debuted for the first team, the 20-year-old player has already been called up for two matches (Porto and Famalicão), in addition to being called up for Brazil’s U-20 team. The midfielder, it should be remembered, arrived on loan from Flamengo until the end of the current season, as he had no space in the midfield of the team led by Luís Filipe.

At the start of this season, Rayan Lucas has always been a starter. The 20-year-old defensive midfielder played 90 minutes against Torreense, 77 minutes against União de Leiria, 70 minutes against Oliveirense, and 68 minutes against Paços de Ferreira.
