Exclusive Leonino – Alisson Santos facing major headache at Sporting | OneFootball

Leonino Exclusive – Rui Borges is disappointed with Alisson Santos and the winger will have to improve his performance at Sporting

Alisson Santos has disappointed Rui Borges. As revealed by our newspaper in this Leonino Exclusive, the Sporting coach expected more from the winger signed from Vitória da Bahia, who has yet to make an impact wearing the green and white stripes.

According to information obtained from a source close to the process, Rui Borges feels that Alisson Santos is still not at the same level as his teammates. The Brazilian’s limited playing time reflects the coach’s opinion, at a time when Sporting is weakened on the left side of the attack.

If he does not show an improvement in performance, he could be demoted to the B team.

It should be recalled that Alisson Santos was officially signed by Sporting on June 30, in a deal closed with Vitória da Bahia for 2.1 million euros. The Lions secured 90% of the rights to the 22-year-old player, who signed a contract until 2030 and was protected with an 80 million euro release clause.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Alisson Santos – valued at 1.5 million euros – has only played in two of the Lions’ five matches. The winger was brought on against Arouca (9’) and Porto (2’), totaling 11 minutes in the green and white stripes.
