Sporting enter the market! Gabriel Silva and Chiquinho targeted

Sporting remain attentive to the domestic market and have two wingers highly rated as they look to strengthen their attack next season. Gabriel Silva, from Santa Clara, and Chiquinho, from Alverca, appeal to the Sporting hierarchy, who are seeking solutions for the wide attacking areas and have already gathered information on both players.

In the case of Gabriel Silva, Sporting’s interest is longstanding and the club’s officials even contacted Santa Clara to understand the terms of a possible transfer. The 24-year-old winger has established himself as one of the standout players in the Azorean side this season, with 10 goals and one assist in 36 official matches.

The Brazilian’s adaptation to Portuguese football and his contract situation are factors viewed positively in Alvalade. Gabriel Silva’s contract runs until the end of next season, a scenario that could make negotiations between the clubs easier. Back in January, Sporting had already sounded out the conditions for a move for the South American attacker, in a deal that should cost less than €5 million.

Another name still highly regarded by Sporting’s scouting department is Chiquinho, an attacker who has shone for Alverca since arriving in Ribatejo at the start of the season. Under Custódio Castro, the winger has two goals and four assists in 19 matches, standing out above all for his pace and one-on-one ability.

The 26-year-old player’s connection to Sporting also carries weight in the SAD’s assessment. Developed at the Alcochete Academy, Chiquinho went through Estoril before moving to Wolverhampton. After a spell at Famalicão, where he caught the attention of Ruben Amorim, Sporting still tried to bring the winger back last season, but without success. After a loan spell at RCD Mallorca and the end of his ties with the English club, the attacker returned to Portugal to sign for Alverca.
