Exclusive Leonino - Rui Borges is disappointed with Alisson Santos and the winger will need to improve his performance at Sporting
Rui Borges is disappointed with the performance of Alisson Santos at Sporting. As revealed by our Newspaper in this Leonino Exclusive, the coach believes that the player is below what was expected, even after several months training with the main team.
According to information obtained from a source close to the process, Rui Borges feels that Alisson Santos is still not at the level of his fellow teammates. The Brazilian's limited use reflects the coach's opinion, at a time when Sporting is weakened in the left attacking corridor.
If he does not show an improvement in performance, he may be demoted to the B team.
Remember that Alisson Santos was officially announced at Sporting on June 30, in a deal closed with Vitória da Bahia for 2.1 million euros. The lions got 90% of the pass of the 22-year-old athlete, who signed a contract until 2030 and was shielded with a termination clause of 80 million euros.
This season, with the Sporting jersey, Alisson Santos - valued at 1.5 million euros - only participated in two of the five lions' games. The winger was launched against Arouca (9') and Porto (2'), playing a total of 11 minutes with the green and white striped jersey.
