Hidemasa Morita set to leave Sporting in January, destination known | OneFootball

About half a year away from leaving Sporting, Hidemasa Morita—who will miss the trip to the Azores—is already starting to think about his future and, it seems, there are two clubs from Qatar interested in securing the services of the Lions’ number 5, having even already made a concrete approach for the player.

The information is being reported by Mais Futebol, which also reveals the names of the clubs: Al-Gharafa and Al-Duhail are working to have Morita as early as January, but do not rule out the possibility of waiting until June if Sporting makes his departure difficult at this time.

It is worth remembering that Morita is only under contract with the Alvalade club until June 2026. With no renewal on the table, this means that, starting next January, the experienced midfielder can sign a pre-contract with any team.

Although he has been at Sporting for four seasons, since 2022/23—having arrived from Santa Clara—the non-extension of his contract with the green and whites was reportedly by mutual agreement. At this moment, the relationship between the parties is good and both believe that leaving is the best path.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Hidemasa Morita—valued at 11 million euros—has played 20 matches. In this start to the season, the Japanese international midfielderhas played a total of 973 minutes, during which he assisted his teammates on two occasions.
