Exclusive Leonino – Alisson Santos facing major headache at Sporting | OneFootball

Exclusive Leonino - Rui Borges is disappointed with Alisson Santos and the winger will need to improve his performance at Sporting

Alisson Santos has disappointed Rui Borges. As revealed by our newspaper in this Exclusive Leonino, the Sporting coach expected more from the winger signed from Vitória da Bahia, who has yet to make an impact wearing the green and white stripes.

According to information gathered from a source close to the process, Rui Borges feels that Alisson Santos is not yet at the level of his teammates. The Brazilian's limited playtime reflects the coach's opinion, at a time when Sporting is weakened on the left wing of the attack.

If he does not show improvement in performance, he may be demoted to the B team.

It should be noted that Alisson Santos was officially signed by Sporting on June 30, in a deal closed with Vitória da Bahia for 2.1 million euros. The club secured 90% of the 22-year-old player's rights, who signed a contract until 2030 and was protected with a release clause of 80 million euros.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Alisson Santos - valued at 1.5 million euros - has participated in only two of the five matches for the club. The winger was brought on against Arouca (9') and Porto (2'), totaling 11 minutes in the green and white stripes.
