Marlon Gomes or Javi Guerra: Sporting undecided in the transfer market | OneFootball

Sporting is currently considering the possibility of securing the signing of Javi Guerra (Valencia) or Marlon Gomes (Shakhtar Donetsk), in light of the identified need to recruit a ‘number 8’ for the squad managed by Rui Borges.

This information has been reported by the portal Visão de Mercado since last Tuesday, January 6, with new updates regarding the intentions of the green and whites in this transfer window. The international press itself is now turning its attention to Marlon Gomes.

According to the latest rumors, Sporting’s management is considering “spending good money” on a possible signing of the 22-year-old Brazilian midfielder, who is currently in his second season with the Ukrainian club.

This need arises because Giorgi Kochorashvili has not found his place in Rui Borges’ team. João Simões is still considered ‘not quite enough’ for the required role, while Hidemasa Morita is in the final stage of his contract with Sporting. The return of Daniel Bragança could postpone the signing of a midfielder, but the Lions want to be cautious due to the uncertainty surrounding the player’s physical condition.

In addition to Javi Guerra and Marlon Gomes, it’s worth remembering that Sporting has also considered signing Breno Bidon, a midfielder from Corinthians. According to the Brazilian press, the green and whites are considering making a 15 million euro offer for the young Brazilian.
