Sporting open talks for Rio Ave winger | OneFootball

André Luiz, Brazilian winger for Rio Ave, has been one of the biggest revelations of the current edition of the Portuguese League and is under the watchful eye of the big three – Sporting, Benfica, and Porto – who have already made initial contacts to assess possible interest in the player.

The 23-year-old is a regular fixture in the team managed by Sotiris Silaidopoulos. The Vilacondense management has set a price of approximately 15 million euros for any negotiation regarding his transfer, a figure that reflects the impact André Luiz has had on the team since arriving in Vila do Conde after playing for Estrela da Amadora.

In addition to the interest from Portuguese clubs, according to the newspaper ‘A Bola’, the footballer is also attracting attention from clubs abroad, especially in England, where Premier League and Championship teams have already made inquiries about the player. As a result, everything indicates that with the reopening of the transfer window in January, this market could gain even more momentum.

Despite the strong interest, Rio Ave is in no rush to close any deal and intends to keep the player at least until the end of the season, believing that André Luiz’s consistent performance could further increase his market value. The player himself remains focused on his performance on the pitch, but sees the possibility of taking a step forward in his career as something natural, should a proposal arise that satisfies all parties. Sporting has been searching for new targets for January.

In the current season, André Luiz — valued at 4 million euros — has already played 16 official matches for Rio Ave: 15 in Liga Portugal Betclic and one in the Portuguese Cup. In the 1,258 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the Brazilian has recorded five goals and five assists.
