Exclusive Leonino – Rui Borges deeply disappointed with Sporting winger | OneFootball

Rui Borges is disappointed with Alisson Santos' performance at Sporting. As revealed by our newspaper in this Exclusive Leonino, the coach believes that the player is falling short of expectations, even after several months of training with the main team.

According to information gathered from a source close to the process, Rui Borges feels that Alisson Santos is still not 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.

Thus, the coach of the lions has spoken with the 'number 27' to try to make better use of the player. The upcoming training sessions will be crucial for Alisson Santos who, if he does not show an improvement in performance, may be relegated to the B team.

It should be remembered 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 lions acquired 90% of the 22-year-old player's rights, who signed a contract until 2030 and was secured with a release clause of 80 million euros.

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