Alarm bells for Palmeiro: Sporting’s summer signing loses value | OneFootball

Transfermarkt updated, this Thursday, December 18th, the market values of the players in Liga Portugal Betclic. Despite João Simões being highlighted for his rise, six Sporting players saw decreases after this season's start.

Fotis Ioannidis, Eduardo Quaresma, Daniel Bragança, Hidemasa Morita, Nuno Santos, and Matheus Reis. All these names under Rui Borges in the green and white team saw their market value decrease by 2 million euros in the second update made by the aforementioned platform.

The main highlight goes to the Greek international, as he is one of Sporting's signings in the last transfer window, aiming to fill all the gaps in the lions' attack front - after the departures of Viktor Gyokeres and Conrad Harder, joining Luis Suárez at the entrance door of Alvalade.

As also addressed by Rui Borges, Ioannidis is not going through his best phase. Besides taking time to adapt to Sporting, the player also suffered an injury that ended up delaying his progress in the green and white team. Among the other names, the declines of Bragança and Nuno Santos are explained due to their absence because of injury, while Reis and Quaresma are only now getting more minutes with the lions. Meanwhile, Morita is a mix of both - the player has already admitted not being well psychologically and has also had some physical problems.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Fotis Ioannidis – valued at 20 million euros – has played 16 matches. The 25-year-old Greek international forward has played 608 minutes, in which he has already scored four goals and provided three assists with the green and white stripes.
