Sotiris Alexandropoulos still has no solution for his future. Just when everything pointed to a move to Gençlerbirligi, the transfer fell through and the 24-year-old midfielder remains tied to Sporting, with one year left on his contract.
According to the latest reports, the Turkish press points to an alleged failure in the medical examinations as the reason why the deal did not go through. That information, however, has still not been officially confirmed by either party.
Terminating his contract with Sporting remains on the table, just as our newspaper had previously reported in a Leonino Exclusive, at a time when the Greece international is not part of the options for the first team. The green and whites are looking for a definitive solution to close a file that has dragged on for several seasons.
Sotiris Alexandropoulos arrived at Alvalade in 2022 from Panathinaikos for around four million euros. In his first season he made 14 official appearances for Sporting, the only ones he has played wearing the lion on his chest, without managing to establish himself as a regular option.
Now, with the move to Turkey off, the midfielder’s next destination remains unknown and Sporting will have to look for a solution again before the transfer window closes.
