It’s official. Micael Sanhá has renewed until 2029. The player, who is represented by Eusébio Mango, father of Joelson Fernandes (Gil Vicente), thus maintains his goal of continuing to develop with the Lions. The 20-year-old winger has therefore seen his deal with the Alvalade club extended, in a relationship that began in the 2019/20 season.
"Renewing means a lot to me. I’m very happy because it shows the trust the Club has in me, and I’m very grateful for that. I’ve worked very hard throughout this time and have been supported by incredible people along the way. So renewing is a very positive sign. Sporting still believes in me, I believe in myself, and now we go for more," he told the Lions’ official media.
After coming through every level of the Academy, Micael Sanhá is with the B team this season and has made four appearances. The young winger was pleased with the opportunity: "I’ve been working well and I’m grateful for the opportunity they’re giving me. It’s going to be a very long season and all I want is to keep working so we can achieve our objectives."
On an individual level, the player also has a very clear goal for the coming years: reaching the first team: "My goal is to keep working every day and give my all on the pitch. I dream of reaching the first team and I’m going to work every day for that," he said.
Micael Sanhá also made a promise for this new stage of his career, assuring that he will remain focused on improving every day: "I’m going to try to be much better than I was in the past because what matters is today’s work. Yesterday is gone. I have to keep working to be better day after day."
