Salvador Blopa to be rewarded for impressive form at Sporting | OneFootball

Salvador Blopa is expected to be one of the new faces in Rui Borges’ initial selections. The green and white coach wants to reward Sporting’s young sensation by giving him another start, after the player was successfully chosen for the match against Alverca in the League Cup (5-1).

The youngster is, once again, the main highlight of this “armada” of talents from Alcochete. The winger is gaining ground and may well deserve another opportunity. With Fotis Ioannidis injured, Rodrigo Ribeiro could also make his debut in the coach’s starting lineup.

The new sensation of the green and white club has been highly coveted abroad, with the plan of the Sporting board, led by Frederico Varandas, being to extend the young player’s contract, which currently runs until 2027. Sporting wants to keep the player for another three years, until 2030.

The British press mentioned that, besides Ruben Amorim’s United, Real Madrid and PSG are also interested in signing Salvador Blopa. The playing style of the 18-year-old footballer has often been compared to that of Nuno Mendes, the best left-back in the world.

This season, Salvador Blopa has played 13 matches for Sporting: nine in Liga 3 for the B team, three for the under-19s in the UEFA Youth League, and one for the main squad. In total, the winger has played 954 minutes, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
