Alexandre Brito is not part of Sporting’s plans for next season. The midfielder, who is currently on loan at Pafos in Cyprus, is outside the sporting project defined by the Lions’ structure and could join the Cypriot squad on a permanent basis.

Although the loan to Pafos was initially intended to give him competitive minutes and greater visibility, a reintegration into the main squad was never really planned. The SAD believes the young midfielder’s cycle at the club has come to an end.

With that in mind, Sporting’s intention is to find a permanent solution in the summer market in order to resolve the player’s case. The goal will be to secure a permanent transfer and end ties with the Portugal under-18 international, who arrived in Alcochete in 2017 at just 12 years old.

In the current season, playing for Pafos, Alexandre Brito - valued at €125,000 - has taken part in 12 matches. In the 400 minutes played, the footballer, who is under contract with Sporting until 2027, has scored one goal.
