Leonino exclusive - Arthur Atta is a done deal at Sporting | OneFootball

Arthur Atta is no longer a priority for Sporting at this stage of the summer transfer window, Leonino has learned. The Udinese midfielder had been tracked as a possible signing to strengthen the middle of the pitch, but the situation ultimately changed following recent market moves.

According to what our newspaper has learned, with the signings of Silas Andersen, Issa Doumbia, Pedro Lima and Rodrigo Zalazar already completed, Sporting’s squad became more balanced in midfield and left less room for further moves in that position.

In this context, Arthur Atta’s name is no longer at the top of the list, since Sporting have already secured several internal solutions to cover any possible departures or squad needs. The focus now is on consolidating the reinforcements already secured.

Therefore, barring unexpected changes in the market, the file on the France under-20 international midfielder is, at this moment, a closed matter, with Sporting focusing on other positions considered more of a priority for completing Rui Borges’ squad.

This 2025/26 season, playing for Udinese, Arthur Atta – valued at €25 million – made 34 appearances. In total, across the 2,721 minutes he spent on the pitch, the midfielder scored six goals and provided three assists.
