Ricardo Mangas could be on his way out of Sporting just one year after arriving at Alvalade. The left-back is not considered untouchable by the Lions’ hierarchy, and a transfer in this summer window is a scenario being viewed naturally by the club’s green-and-white officials.

The SAD led by Frederico Varandas is willing to consider offers for the player, as long as the figures presented are deemed satisfactory both for the Club and for the player himself. At 28, Mangas still has a market, and an interesting opportunity could arise in the coming weeks.

One of the factors weighing on this assessment is the defender’s salary. Although he is not an undisputed starter, the Portuguese player earns a wage considered high for the role he currently plays in Rui Borges’ squad, a situation that leads Sporting’s officials to be open to a possible sale.

In his first season wearing the lion on his chest, the ‘number 91’ featured in 28 official matches. Over the course of those games, the left-back directly contributed to four goals, scoring twice and providing two assists.
