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 club’s hierarchy, and a transfer in this summer window is a scenario being viewed naturally by the green-and-white officials.
The SAD led by Frederico Varandas is open to considering offers for the player, as long as the amounts put forward 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 wages considered high given the role he currently plays in Rui Borges’ squad, a situation that leads the Sporting 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 contributed directly to four goals, scoring twice and providing two assists.
