Sotiris complicates Sporting’s plans again and options run short | OneFootball

Sporting have suffered another setback in the process of finding a destination for Sotiris Alexandropoulos. When everything pointed to the Greek midfielder heading to OFI Crete on loan, the Greek club ultimately changed strategy and moved for the signing of Bouchalakis.

, who is not part of Rui Borges’ plans for the 2026/27 season. The Greek international still has no room in the squad, and Sporting’s SAD intends to resolve his situation during this summer transfer window.

Although there is interest from other clubs in Greece and the Netherlands, the deal does not appear to be straightforward. According to information reported by newspaper A Bola, the clubs that have been monitoring the midfielder do not have the financial capacity to cover the salary he earns at Alvalade, making a potential transfer more difficult.

Sotiris arrived at Sporting in the summer of 2022 from Panathinaikos, in a deal that cost around €5 million. At the time, he was seen as one of the solutions to fill the gap left by Matheus Nunes’ move to Wolverhampton.

However, the midfielder never managed to establish himself with the lion on his chest. DSince then, he has had loan spells at Olympiacos, Standard Liège and, most recently, Fortuna Düsseldorf. He now enters the final year of his contract with Sporting and is still waiting to find out the next destination in his career.
