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 has confirmed there were contacts 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 had meetings with several clubs, including Sporting. Now, 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 speak in euros, because if we are talking about Europe, that is the value,” stressing Grêmio’s financial demands.

The player’s ambition to make the jump to European football was also addressed: “He dreams of playing in Europe; it will be difficult for Grêmio to hold on to 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.” Gabriel Mec is also on the Lions’ list of targets.
