Sporting remain attentive to the market in search of new talent to strengthen their academy structure and B team. After having Gilberto Mora on their radar, Frederico Varandas is close to sealing the signing of a young Colombian prospect.
The name is Junior Orobio, a Colombian winger who is currently without a club after ending his spell with Once Caldas. The 18-year-old is one of Colombia’s most promising young players in the winger position.
According to journalist Pipe Sierra, Luis Suárez’s compatriot is on the Lions’ radar to join the B team. This potential signing fits the club’s model of recruiting young talents with room for development at no transfer cost, preparing them for European football.
Sporting are targeting the South American market and preparing the signing of a Colombian prospect for the academy in order to ensure his immediate integration into the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, allowing the player a period of adaptation to the context of domestic football.
The board led by Frederico Varandas continues to prioritize the early recruitment of footballers with high resale potential. The player’s arrival without a transfer fee represents another safe step in building the Club’s future.
