Official: Alexandre Brito no longer belongs to Sporting. The 20-year-old Portuguese midfielder has been officially announced as a new signing for Pafos, joining the team managed by Ricardo Sá Pinto on a permanent deal after representing the club on loan last season, with Sporting retaining 50% of his economic rights.

The Portugal under-18 international thus brings to an end a nine-year spell with Sporting, the club where he completed most of his development. During his time in Alcochete, Alexandre Brito also made his debut for the first team, making four appearances in the green and white shirt.

Last season, with no room for him in Rui Borges’ plans, the midfielder moved to Pafos on loan and ultimately convinced the Cypriot club’s officials. He played 12 official matches for the team, scored one goal, and contributed to a historic season that included participation in the Champions League.

Given the level of performance he showed, Pafos decided to move forward with the permanent signing of Alexandre Brito. According to the information released, the midfielder signed a contract valid for four seasons, tying him to the club until June 2030.
