Daniel Bragança's move from Sporting to Olympiacos is now unlikely to happen. The Greek club now appears close to pulling out of the race after turning its attention to Remo Freuler, a 34-year-old Swiss player who is available after his contract with Bologna ended.

The midfielder plays in exactly the same position as Bragança and is already in Athens, where he is expected to undergo medical tests before signing for the Greek club. The Lions wanted to receive around €10 million for the transfer, even though the 27-year-old midfielder has only one year left on his contract.

The lack of a renewal offer and his history of knee problems have also weighed on negotiations with the Lions, according to newspaper 'A Bola'. The situation becomes even more delicate given the player's current status at Alvalade.

Daniel Bragança was left out of the squad for the first two official matches of the season, against Estrela da Amadora and Vitória de Guimarães, and also missed the last pre-season game against Nottingham Forest.

As such, the left-footer's future remains undefined, and the possibility of a move in this transfer window is increasingly dependent on new interested clubs emerging. Sporting will now have to wait for an alternative that can unlock a case that has been dragging on for several weeks.It is worth recalling that Braga inquired about the player.
