Daniel Bragança is now further away from leaving Sporting for Olympiacos. The Greek club has dropped its pursuit of the Sporting midfielder after strengthening the position with two new options, creating fresh uncertainty over the future of the ‘number 23’.

According to newspaper A Bola, the arrival of Remo Freuler, the Swiss international who was a free agent after his contract with Bologna ended and was unveiled this Monday, helped shut the door on the Portuguese player. Olympiacos, owned by Evangelos Marinakis, had also already secured Gustavo Sá on loan from Nottingham Forest.

In light of these moves, the Greeks have ended their interest in Daniel Bragança. Sporting want to bring in around €10 million from the sale of the 27-year-old midfielder, who is entering the final year of his contract at Alvalade.

The player will now have to wait for new interested clubs to emerge before the market closes. Rui Borges has already publicly confirmed that Daniel Bragança, like Pedro Gonçalves, is looking for a solution to continue his career away from Sporting.

While his future remains unresolved, Bragança continues to train separately from the main group and remains out of contention for matches. Pote still has Saudi Arabia as his most likely destination, while the ‘number 8’ will have to find an alternative to Olympiacos.
