Official! Sporting seal talented winger for next season | OneFootball

Vítor Conceição, a young 17-year-old right winger for the Lions, is now tied to the Alvalade club with a professional contract. Despite the current period of upheaval at the Academy, the green and whites have been securing several key pieces. Last season, the Portuguese-Brazilian was part of the under-17 squad, where he made 18 appearances and scored three times.

The player described the feeling surrounding this signing. “I’m very proud to sign this contract, and my family are also very happy for me. This means Sporting trust my work; now I just have to keep working and give everything for this badge,” he told the green-and-white media outlets.

Vítor Conceição already has a long-standing connection with Sporting and the entire Lions universe. “I started playing at Quarteirense when I was five, then I came to the Academy for a trial and passed. After that, Sporting created a hub in the Algarve, I played there until the under-12s and at under-13 level I came to live in Alcochete,” he recalled.

As for his dreams and role models, Vítor Conceição sees Academy players who reached the first team as his biggest examples. “One of my references is Quenda, who used to live here at the Academy and I had a good connection with him. The second is Geny Catamo, who is a quick player, who likes to take people on one-on-one and is fearless. And also Trincão, who is a very creative player with great technical quality,” he said.
