Days after signing, Rodrigo Zalazar slips from Sporting | OneFootball

Rodrigo Zalazar has just been announced as a new Sporting signing and is already with the Uruguay national team. The attacking midfielder reported this Monday to the Celeste’s training camp, coached by Marcelo Bielsa, after finishing the season with Braga.

Uruguay’s training camp began last Friday, and Sporting’s new signing was one of the first internationals to arrive at the camp. Although Marcelo Bielsa has not yet officially announced the final squad, Zalazar’s presence in training all but confirms the player’s call-up for the World Cup.

In addition to the playmaker, Maxi Araújo is also expected to be included in the South American national team squad, although the Sporting winger will only travel after playing in the Portuguese Cup final. Sporting face Torreense next Sunday at 5:45 p.m., in what will be Rui Borges’ side’s final match of the season.

It should be remembered that Rodrigo Zalazar recently signed a contract with Sporting until 2030, in one of the most significant deals in the domestic market. The Lions will pay Braga €30 million for the playmaker, a fee that sets a new record for transfers between Portuguese clubs. The player is also protected by a release clause set at €80 million.

Going the other way is Diogo Travassos. The right-back developed in Sporting’s academy, who was on loan at Moreirense last season, is joining Braga in a deal worth €5.5 million, which could rise by a further €1 million depending on previously defined objectives.
