Sporting is interested in signing Patrik Mercado. With eyes set on several players for the upcoming transfer window, the names of the Lions' targets for the January window are starting to emerge, and the Ecuadorian from Independiente del Valle is on Rui Borges' list.

The information is being reported by Ekrem Konur, a Turkish journalist specializing in the transfer market, who also states that the green and whites are not the only ones in the race for the midfielder, and that the English club Wolverhampton is the best positioned to secure the 22-year-old attacking midfielder.

"Wolverhampton is close to reaching an agreement with the 22-year-old attacking midfielder Patrik Mercado from Independiente del Valle. Real Betis, Sevilla, Roma, Porto, and Sporting are also interested, but the Premier League club seems to have the advantage in the race," he wrote on the social network 'X'.
