Silas Andersen's Sporting arrival delayed, reason now known | OneFootball

Issa Doumbia is already in Lisbon to officially become a Sporting signing. The Venezia midfielder landed in the Portuguese capital on Wednesday night, after the final bureaucratic issues related to documentation were resolved.

The Italy under-21 international will now complete all the usual procedures before the move is made official. From this Thursday, Doumbia will undergo his medical examinations under the supervision of Sporting’s staff, before heading to the club’s offices to sign a contract valid until 2031.

Before starting his holiday period until the end of June, all signs indicate that Issa Doumbia will still have the chance to visit the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy in Alcochete, where he will then begin preparing for his integration into Rui Borges’ squad.

Sporting are also continuing to finalize the last details regarding the signing of Silas Andersen. The Häcken midfielder is also expected to strengthen Sporting’s midfield, in a deal worth €7 million plus €3 million in add-ons. The Lions wanted to bring forward the arrival of the Denmark under-21 international, but the player is still expected to officially say goodbye to Häcken in the match against Hammarby, scheduled for the 31st.
