To avoid losing him for nothing, Sporting sought a new club

Daniel Bragança is expected to leave Sporting before the transfer window closes. The 27-year-old midfielder is entering the final year of his contract, and negotiations to extend his deal with the green and whites have not made the expected progress.

According to newspaper A Bola, the club’s board wants to avoid one of the captains leaving Alvalade on a free transfer next summer. For that reason, Sporting’s directors are willing to consider offers that would allow them to secure a financial return for the Academy graduate.

The process will not, however, be handled with urgency. Sporting are focused on concluding other dossiers considered a priority, namely the departures of Ousmane Diomande and Pedro Gonçalves, and are expected to step up efforts later to define the future of Daniel Bragança.

While waiting for developments, the midfielder continues to work under Rui Borges and has shown promising signs during pre-season, with positive performances and goals. His displays have confirmed his recovery from the serious injury he suffered, but they have not changed the course of the renewal talks.

Despite interest shown by several clubs in recent months, no formal offer has yet arrived at Alvalade. The midfielder has permission to assess alternatives, and everything points to the end of a journey of almost two decades at Sporting, with only his destination and the terms of the transfer still to be determined.
