Exclusive: Amorim’s wanted midfielder may leave Sporting in January | OneFootball

Mateo Tanlongo may leave Sporting in January. As revealed by our Journal in this Leonino Exclusive, the Argentine midfielder has no place in the first team of the green and whites and is also not in the plans of João Gião, the B team's coach.

At the beginning of the season, Tanlongo was demoted to the secondary squad of the Alvalade Club. However, the 22-year-old player was ruled out by João Gião, having not played a single minute this season. The Argentine was not even called up for any of the eight games already played by Sporting B.

Before being demoted, Tanlongo was on the market. After a successful season with the Cypriots of Pafos - where he won the national title and played 28 games - the offers for the player did not please Frederico Varandas' management,

It should be noted that Mateo Tanlongo joined Sporting in the winter market of 2023, coming from Argentina with the label of a very promising midfielder and involved in a major controversy, as he forced his way out of Rosario Central to Alvalade, following a request from Ruben Amorim.

After being signed by Sporting, Tanlongo was part of the main team, having played 14 games in the 2022/23 season. The performances did not convince the green and white officials, and the defensive midfielder, originally from Argentina, had three consecutive loans - first to Copenhagen, then to Rio Ave, and lastly, in the previous season, to Pafos.
