Sérgio Krithinas names Sporting's big 'signing' this season | OneFootball

Sérgio Krithinas highlighted Flávio Gonçalves at the start of Sporting's season, placing the youngster among the players who have stood out most under Rui Borges. The journalist drew attention to the footballer’s low-key rise at a time when millions continue to dominate the transfer market.

The number 58 made his debut for the Lions’ first team last season, picking up a few minutes here and there. Now, at the start of this season, the player has taken on a bigger role and is seen by the pundit as the squad’s main “new signing.”

"Amid the millions being thrown around that are part of the transfer market’s lexicon, there are signings who arrive quietly, without flashy presentations or promises to 'give their life for the club'," he wrote in the newspaper 'Record'. In that sense, he questions how much it would cost to sign, in the current market, a player capable of giving the team what this footballer has provided.

"How much would it cost the SAD, in the current market, for everything this 19-year-old has given the team, on top of his future resale potential? Very often, the most obvious answers are right there in front of our eyes", the analyst concluded.
