Official! Ivorian leaves Sporting, could bring in millions | OneFootball

Official: Club Brugge from Belgium has officially introduced Chris Grombahi, an Ivorian winger who began his training at Sporting in 2017, who will continue his career in European football, but with the secondary team.

The 17-year-old forward will initially represent Club NXT, the B team of Brugge, which plays in the 2nd League, where he will play on loan until the end of the season. It should be noted that the agreement signed between the two clubs includes an option clause.

The deal includes a purchase option of 2 million euros, a value that could increase by another 500 thousand euros upon meeting certain objectives. The young forward was utilized in the 5-1 victory against Alverca, counting for the Allianz Cup.

At the end of that match, coach Rui Borges did not spare praise for the 17-year-old player, even calling him 'Geovany Quenda II' in a clear reference to his potential and similarities with another emerging young talent from the Sporting academy. Furthermore, the player posted a farewell message but was forced to delete it.

This season, Chris Grombahi played 24 official matches, divided among the A team, U-23 team, and juniors: 15 in the Liga Revelação, four in the UEFA Youth League, two in the U-19 First Division, two in the Premier League International Cup, and one in the League Cup. In the 1,596 minutes played, the player scored six goals and provided one assist.
