is said to have decided to leave Sporting after a conversation with Rui Borges at the start of pre-season. The midfielder asked the coach for more playing time, but was not given any guarantees that he would have the role he wanted in the new campaign.

Borges did not guarantee him those minutes at the start of pre-season. So it was decided that Bragança would leave,” said the former player.

From that moment on, the 'number 23' is said to have realized that the best path would be to look for a new challenge. Even so, a solution was slow to emerge, and the midfielder ended up waiting until the final moments of the Italian transfer window to complete the move to Torino.

Daniel Bragança left on loan, with the Turin club paying Sporting 1 million euros. The deal includes a 2.5 million euro purchase clause, which could become mandatory depending on objectives being met, in addition to bonuses that could amount to a further 1 million euros.

The 27-year-old midfielder thus said goodbye to Sporting after nearly 20 years of ties to the club. Bragança regretted not having the chance to say goodbye at a full Alvalade, but left a long message of thanks to the fans before beginning the first spell of his career abroad.
