Midfielder who snubbed Atl. Madrid to be sold by Sporting | OneFootball

Sporting wants to sell Mateo Tanlongo in the January transfer market. The green and white club is analyzing his situation in the squad, considering that the Argentine has not been a regular presence in the main team this season and is training separately at the Academy.

The player, who was also coveted by Diego Simeone's Atlético de Madrid before heading to Alvalade (Learn more HERE), was loaned to Pafos last season, where he won the title in the Cypriot championship, participating in 28 games and contributing with two goals and two assists.

Despite his return, Tanlongo's integration into the B team or alternatives outside Alvalade has been a topic of discussion, especially because the athlete is still seeking consistent space in the main structure and playing time, something he has not been able to achieve under the command of Rui Borges.

With the January window about to open, the management, led by Frederico Varandas, is monitoring the development of the 22-year-old player's situation, evaluating the best solution for the player. A definitive exit is the strongest option on the table.

It should be remembered that Mateo Tanlongo joined Sporting in the winter market of 2023, coming from Argentina with the label of a very promising midfielder and involved in a major controversy, as he forced his departure from Rosario Central to Alvalade, but never managed to be a valid option.
