Afonso Moreira shines in France and Sporting can still cash in | OneFootball

Afonso Moreira continues to establish himself as one of the biggest revelations of the season in France, and Lyon are already reaping the rewards of the gamble they took on the former Sporting player. Shortly after reports of a possible contract renewal, he has now entered the transfer market radar.

Signed for just €2 million at the start of the season, the 21-year-old winger has become an important player in Paulo Fonseca’s side. Last weekend, he once again shone in the win over Stade Rennais (4-2), scoring another goal in a season in which he has already racked up eight goals and 11 assists.

The Portuguese player’s performances have attracted international attention and, according to recent reports, Manchester United are one of the clubs that have already marked him down for next season. Besides the English side, major clubs in Serie A and the Bundesliga are also keeping track of the player’s development.

Sporting are also following the situation closely, as they secured 20% of the capital gain from any future transfer when they sold the player to Lyon. In other words, a potential big-money sale could bring another financial boost to the Lions. With his market value soaring and the French club reportedly looking for figures above €25 million, the green and whites could benefit financially from the winger’s breakout in France.

This season, wearing the Lyon shirt, Afonso Moreira - valued at €10 million - has played 35 matches: 25 in Ligue 1, seven in the Europa League and three in the Coupe de France. In his 2,104 minutes on the pitch, the player has scored eight goals and provided 10 assists.
