Varandas on Palhinha? Some say Sporting president looked uneasy | OneFootball

Frederico Varandas commented on the main current issues surrounding Sporting after the handball Super Cup final against Benfica. As for João Palhinha, who is on his way to Benfica, the President admitted that the former midfielder was at one point a possibility to return to Sporting, but that he was not going to invest many millions in signing him. For Ricardo Quinteiro, the executive showed “unease”.

“I think he showed some unnecessary unease, that is, I don’t see the need to say that Palhinha does not fit into the sporting project”, he began by saying during a debate on A BOLA’s TV channel.

The journalist from the same media outlet reinforced his opinion. “If the president felt that was the best way to justify it and perhaps reassure the fans, then I think he did well; if he did it knowingly, he did well. Now, I don’t think there’s any need for it, it’s none of Mr. Rosário’s business for him to have to get involved”, he commented.

This was Frederico Varandas’s statement. “If, at the end of June, the conditions had been these, we would not have moved forward. It simply is not our project or our strategy to invest tens of millions of euros in a 31-year-old player”, he said.
