Alexandre Brito is not in Sporting's plans for the next season, as reported by Leonino. The midfielder, currently on loan to Pafos in Cyprus, is not part of the sports project outlined by the green and white club and is unlikely to return to the main team's options.
According to our newspaper's findings, besides his performance on the field, his off-field situation also weighed in the internal evaluation. The 20-year-old player was involved in a judicial process related to an alleged domestic violence case, a circumstance that ended up affecting his position within the Club.
Although he was loaned out with the aim of maintaining competitiveness and gaining visibility, the loan was never intended to lead to a future reintegration at Alvalade. The SAD believes that the player's cycle at Sporting is closed, and a new loan is not on the table.
Therefore, the plan is to seek a permanent transfer in the next summer market, allowing the Alvalade Club to close the file on the under-18 international for Portugal, who arrived in Alcochete in 2017, at just 12 years old.
In the current sports season, playing for Pafos, Alexandre Brito - valued at 75 thousand euros - has only played two matches. In the 24 minutes played, the footballer, who has a contract with Sporting until 2027, has no goals or assists to his name.
