Deal done! Sporting full-back on his way to Gil Vicente, details revealed | OneFootball

David Moreira is very close to leaving Sporting on a permanent deal. The left-back from the Lions’ reserve team is set to join Gil Vicente and already has a four-year contract with the Barcelos club waiting for him.

According to the newspaper A Bola, the defender is preparing to sign a long-term deal with Gil Vicente in an operation directly linked to Rodrigo Rodrigues’ transfer to Alvalade. The 18-year-old winger is expected to sign a five-year contract with Sporting.

Along with David Moreira, José Silva will also move to Gil Vicente. The two full-backs are leaving the Lions with no room in the first team, while the SAD led by Frederico Varandas secures the arrival of one of the most promising young talents in Portuguese football to initially join the B team.

The three deals could be officially confirmed as early as this Tuesday. While Gil Vicente has already begun pre-season medical examinations and fitness tests, Sporting will start work on Wednesday at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy under Rui Borges.

In 2025/26, David Moreira was one of the most used players in Sporting’s B team. The full-back featured in 33 matches for the side coached by João Gião, playing an important role in the team, although he did not score any goals during the season.
