Agent confirms Sporting talks over Luís Castro midfielder: interest shown | OneFootball

Erick Noriega continues to be linked with Sporting, at a time when his agent confirmed there had been contact with several European clubs, including the Lions, during an initial inquiry phase regarding the Grêmio midfielder. The player’s representative, Guillermo Zariquiey, revealed more details.

“I had the opportunity to speak with them (Sporting) now that I was in Europe; we held meetings with several clubs, among them Sporting, but that does not mean Sporting are going to sign him, they simply showed interest,” making it clear that there are still no advanced negotiations.

Regarding a possible transfer, the agent also put pressure on the player’s valuation: “I don’t see Erick leaving for less than what the press is speculating now, which is 8 or 10 million euros, now we have to talk in euros, because if we’re talking about Europe, that’s the value,” stressing Grêmio’s financial demands.

The player’s ambition to make the move to European football was also addressed: “He dreams of playing in Europe; it will be difficult for Grêmio to keep hold of him because of the growth he has been showing and the offer that will come. If you ask me where I would like to see him in the second half of the year, I would say in the Premier League, it would be beautiful.”
