Surprise! Rodrigo Ribeiro's relative registered by Sporting for the league | OneFootball

Martim Ribeiro continues to take important steps in Sporting’s academy. The striker, just 16 years old and brother of Rodrigo Ribeiro, signed a professional contract this summer and was registered in the league, opening the door to a possible role in the B team.

For now, the plan of the green-and-white officials is to keep the youngster with the under-19s, allowing him to continue his natural development process. Even so, Martim Ribeiro could still get some minutes for the side coached by Tiago Fernandes over the course of the season.

The forward does not hide the fact that he sees his brother’s path as a reference, but he wants to go even further. “I look up to my brother a lot because of the journey he has had here at Sporting. I hope to follow in his footsteps and be even better. My biggest dream is to win the Champions League with Sporting,” he told Sporting TV.
