Flávio Gonçalves is making a strong impression on the Sporting officials. Our Journal reveals, in this Exclusive Leonino, that the young winger, trained at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, may be very close to taking an important step in his career, all due to the green and white market in the summer transfer window.
Frederico Varandas had, as one of the objectives in the summer transfer window, the signing of a winger with immediate impact for Sporting. The lions tried several targets, but were unable to reach an agreement with any player, and saw the market close without securing a reinforcement for Rui Borges in that position on the field.
Thus, the Sporting officials began to look internally, to see if any of the young players from the academy were ready to fill this gap in Rui Borges' squad. Flávio Gonçalves stood out during the pre-season and has been confirming the high expectations of the green and white leaders.
The young winger has been one of, if not the standout figure of the Sporting B team, which is making its debut in Liga 2 this season with a tremendous start: three wins in four games for João Gião's pupils, with Flávio Gonçalves in great form in the lions' secondary team.
The winger has already scored two goals in the four matches played in the championship and has established himself as one of the leaders of Sporting's B team. The green and white officials are keeping a close eye on the player's development and, although the plan is for him to continue with the lions' secondary team in the near future, to continue developing with minutes and regularity, the possibility of a promotion to Rui Borges' squad is not ruled out, to establish himself as the left-winger the Alvalade Club sought this summer.
