Pote and Daniel Bragança stay at Sporting, things start to shift | OneFootball

Pedro Gonçalves and Daniel Bragança are still at Sporting with just over two weeks to go before the transfer window closes, on September 4. The two players remain out of Rui Borges’ plans for official matches, and all signs suggest they will not be called up for the home game against Alverca either.

According to ‘Desporto ao Minuto’, both have been training normally with the rest of the squad, despite still looking for new challenges. At this stage, Pote is the one closest to leaving, with Al Ittihad working to create the necessary conditions to complete the signing.

The Saudi club needs to free up spots for foreign players before making a definitive move for the Portugal international. Steven Bergwijn and Moussa Diaby are among the candidates to leave the squad and, once that issue is resolved, Pote’s transfer could be completed for a fee between €25 million and €30 million.

The situation of Daniel Bragança is more complicated. Olympiakos has lost momentum as a possible destination after securing Gustavo Sá and Remo Freuler for midfield, leaving the 27-year-old waiting for new opportunities to emerge before the window closes.

If their respective transfers do not go through, Rui Borges has already made it clear that he will have no problem counting on both players again. “If we reach the end of the window and they are still here, they are club players and we will be happy to count on Pote and Dani”, said the coach, also stressing that both have been important in helping the new signings settle in and in passing on the “Sporting DNA”.
