Sá Pinto wants to sign Sporting midfielder in domestic abuse case | OneFootball

Alexandre Brito is getting closer and closer to leaving Sporting for good. The midfielder, who came through the academy in Alcochete, is under contract with the Lions until June 2027, and everything suggests his future will lie with Pafos, the club he represented on loan last season.

According to Record, Ricardo Sá Pinto is one of the main reasons behind this scenario. The Portuguese coach recently renewed his contract with the Cypriot club and wants to count on Alexandre Brito for next season’s project, seeing the young midfielder as an important part of the squad’s rebuild.

The first half of the season was not easy for the 20-year-old player, who had limited playing time in Cypriot football. Even so, Sá Pinto’s arrival changed the situation and opened up new prospects for the young Portugal international, who earned a place in the club’s technical plans.

With only one more year left on his deal with Sporting, the club’s officials are open to finding a permanent solution for the player. In addition to his sporting performances, off-field issues also weighed on the club’s internal assessment. The 20-year-old player was involved in legal proceedings related to an alleged domestic violence situation.

Besides interest from Pafos, Piast of Poland is also monitoring the midfielder’s situation. However, the same source says the player is more inclined to remain in Cyprus, where he believes he can find the competitive stability needed to continue developing.
