Exclusive Leonino confirmed: Sporting have decided Travassos’ future | OneFootball

There is a notable absence in Vasco Botelho da Costa’s options for the match against Sporting, corresponding to the 23rd round of the League, scheduled for Saturday at 6:00 PM. Diogo Travassos, on loan from the Alvalade club to Moreirense, will not be able to face the team that owns his rights.

This absence stands out given the consistent season the 21-year-old is having in Minho, in what is his second consecutive loan spell, after being loaned to Estrela da Amadora in 2024/25. At this stage, the Lions are closely monitoring the player’s development.

After a pre-season under Rui Borges’ guidance—a period that culminated with a contract renewal and another loan move to gain more playing time—Travassos is looking forward to returning to Alvalade with clear improvements, especially in his relationship with scoring goals.

Sporting has been keeping a close eye on the full-back’s progress, who is expected to be considered for next season, as our newspaper reported, in an exclusive by Leonino. A product of Sporting’s academy, he was loaned out again as it was deemed the best path to maximize his development.

There is competition in the main squad—with Iván Fresneda and Georgios Vagiannidis among the options—but the future may bring changes, especially considering the interest the Spaniard has attracted from Spanish and Italian clubs. The young Spaniard dreams of reaching his country’s senior national team, which could also influence the transfer market.

It is worth remembering that Sporting renewed Diogo Travassos’ contract until 2030, setting a release clause of 80 million euros, a clear sign of the club’s confidence in the potential of a player who continues to grow and justify their investment.
