Sporting continues to seek an alternative to Pedro Gonçalves and, therefore, the club's board will again pursue a winger who can compete with 'number 8' in the upcoming winter transfer window.

After the 'failure' associated with the non-transfer of Jota Silva to Alvalade in the last minutes of the past transfer period, Rui Borges continues to want a player who can be almost like a 'clone' of Pote, that is, another right winger who can play on the left side - with the performances and wear and tear of the Portuguese bringing some 'urgency' to this option.

As a result of not signing any alternative, Sporting's coach has been betting on Alisson Santos, who saw his plan with the club altered to help fill the gaps in Rui Borges' squad at this stage - however, the Brazilian was supposed to spend more time playing for the B team, and despite the coach being satisfied, the profile does not match the ideal.

Even so, when he returns from injury, Nuno Santos could also occupy this position. However, he is also a depth player, so Sporting will have no other alternative but to hit the market and open their wallets.

With this in mind, Yeremay Hernández continues to be Rui Borges' preference for his team. The problem is that the price asked by Corunha is prohibitive for Sporting, who had already offered 25 million euros fixed + 5M in objectives for the player in the summer. Besides that, the player does not want to leave the emblem of the Spanish second division on bad terms, and a mid-season transfer would not be well seen.
