Rayan Lucas gets rare Sporting chance, could spark big-money move | OneFootball

Rayan Lucas may get his first minutes with Sporting’s main team against Paços de Ferreira, in a match valid for the third round of the League Cup. The young player on loan from Flamengo continues to train with the Lions’ first team, and Rui Borges may well reward his commitment.

If the match in the queen of competitions is ‘under control’ for the green and whites, it is very likely that the Brazilian will fulfill his dream of playing for a major European club. With Sporting’s schedule tightening, if he responds well to the test, the 20-year-old midfielder could become a good rotation option for Rui Borges.

It’s worth remembering that the young Brazilian was loaned by Flamengo at the start of the season; however, he can be signed by Sporting permanently, as soon as the Lions exercise their purchase option, which can be activated with a payment of 4 million euros. With no final decision made yet, the youngster continues to encourage that possibility.

Rayan Lucas has impressed Rui Borges in these first months of work at Sporting, as our newspaper previously reported, exclusively. The player arrived at Alcochete to develop and grow with the reserve squad, but his good performances may earn him a debut with the A team in the near future.

At the start of this season, Rayan Lucas has already played four matches for Sporting’s B team, always as a starter. In total, he has already accumulated 304 minutes under João Gião’s management. The Brazilian midfielder has also already been called up for first-team commitments, but ended the matches as an unused substitute.
