Sotiris Alexandropoulos could end his spell at Sporting earlier than expected. With no room in Rui Borges’ squad and entering the final year of his contract, the Greek midfielder is now facing the possibility of terminating his deal with the green and whites.

According to newspaper A Bola, the Sporting board is open to reaching an agreement with the player to end the contract. The scenario gained momentum after OFI Crete gave up on taking the 24-year-old footballer on loan.

Sotiris arrived at Alvalade in the summer of 2022 to fill the gap left by Matheus Nunes, who moved to Wolverhampton. However, the midfielder never managed to establish himself in the first team and began a cycle of successive loan spells.

While at Sporting, Sotiris made just 13 appearances in the 2022/23 season, three of them as a starter, totaling 367 minutes under Ruben Amorim. With no new move in sight, termination appears to be the most likely solution to close the case.
