Sporting weigh up Javi López move, but others are already keen | OneFootball

Sporting remain in the market for a left-back to provide an alternative to Maxi Araújo, and Javi López is one of the names under consideration. The 24-year-old player belongs to Real Sociedad and fits the profile sought by Sporting’s board.

According to Record, the green-and-whites have not yet made a formal move for the Spaniard, as they are still assessing different options for the position. Last season, Javi López was on loan at Oviedo, registering one assist in 26 matches across La Liga and the Copa del Rey.

The full-back is valued at €5 million by Transfermarkt and is also attracting interest from Feyenoord. The Spanish press reports that the Dutch club have already opened talks with Real Sociedad to understand the conditions of a possible transfer.

Rodrigo Dias is also among the options and even started in Reboleira, while Nuno Santos continues to recover from muscular problems and Ricardo Mangas left Alvalade for Monza.

Unless there is some unexpected departure before the transfer window closes, Sporting intend to complete the squad with Nestory Irankunda, whose arrival is imminent, and one more left-back. Javi López is, at this stage, one of the possibilities on the table.
