Diogo Travassos is leaving Sporting... for good | OneFootball

Rodrigo Zalazar is getting closer and closer to joining Sporting. Frederico Varandas and António Salvador have finalized the last details of a deal worth 30 million euros, with Diogo Travassos heading to Braga in a separate transfer. The wing-back is expected to bring in 7 million euros for the Lions.

On the other hand, the Uruguayan international has already expressed his desire to take a step forward in his career and move to a club with different competitive ambitions. Braga showed openness to negotiate, but remained firm on the asking price to release one of the most influential players in the squad.

During the talks, Sporting tried to reduce the transfer fee by including some assets, and Diogo Travassos ended up appealing to Braga’s decision-makers. The right-back, who was on loan at Moreirense, is now expected to continue his career in Minho.

At Alvalade, Rodrigo Zalazar’s arrival could come before major changes. Pedro Gonçalves and Geny Catamo continue to attract interest on the market and could bring in significant financial returns, while Francisco Trincão and Luis Suárez are, for now, seen as harder players to lose. Geovany Quenda, meanwhile, is going to play for Chelsea.

This season, Diogo Travassos - valued at 4 million euros - was loaned out by Sporting in order to gain more competitive rhythm. In Moreira de Cónegos, he has already made 28 appearances, playing 2,348 minutes, during which he has recorded five goals and three assists.
