Midfielder facing serious allegations leaves Sporting for good | OneFootball

Alexandre Brito will leave Sporting and head towards Alverca in a permanent transfer. The 20-year-old Portuguese midfielder returns to Portugal to play the second half of the 2025/26 season, in a deal where the Alvalade Club retains 50% of the player's economic rights.

The midfielder was on loan to Pafos, in Cyprus, but had very limited playing time with the Cypriot team. During his time at the club, Alexandre Brito accumulated only 24 minutes in official competition, spread over two matches, one in the league and another in the Cyprus Super Cup.

Given the scenario of limited continuity, both parties opted for a definitive solution to relaunch the young midfielder's career. At Alverca, Alexandre Brito will now have the opportunity to gain more playing time and establish himself in a different competitive environment, while Sporting retains a percentage of his rights, safeguarding a potential future appreciation of the player.

It is worth remembering that the young defensive midfielder's departure from Sporting was decided after the Club's Management became aware of his domestic violence accusations. The allegations were made in May 2025 by the athlete's girlfriend to the Montijo PSP, which resulted in his future at Alvalade being cut short.

In the 2024/25 season, Alexandre Brito played 16 games and scored two goals for the B team, in addition to four appearances for the main team, where he debuted under Rui Borges - who gave the captain's armband to Eduardo Quaresma. An injury sidelined him from competition for a few weeks, and the U18 international for Portugal ended up losing ground to Eduardo Felicíssimo, who secured a spot in the final stretch of the season.
