Leonino exclusive confirmed! Cost Sporting millions, may leave via Sá Pinto | OneFootball

Biel still has no room at Sporting and the club’s SAD is working on a new solution for the Brazilian winger, just as our newspaper had already reported in a Leonino Exclusive. After loan spells at Atlético Mineiro and Al Taawon, the 25-year-old could leave Alvalade again in this summer transfer window, with Pafos being one of the clubs most interested in signing him.

According to gathered information, the Cypriot club, managed by Ricardo Sá Pinto, is in talks to secure the forward’s arrival, in a deal that could be completed through another loan. Pafos officials are also in discussions with Sporting to extend Alexandre Brito’s stay, after he represented the club last season.

Although the Cypriots’ interest is concrete, the process is still far from being completed. Biel continues to assess several possibilities for the future and there are other options on the table to continue his career away from Alvalade.

Signed in the 2024/25 winter transfer window for around €6 million, the player never managed to establish himself at Sporting. The Brazilian was part of the squad that won the league title and the Portuguese Cup that season, but he always played a secondary role in the coaching staff’s plans.

Given the strong competition in the attacking department and with no prospects of earning more space under Rui Borges, everything indicates that Biel will leave again this summer. It remains to be seen whether the destination will be Pafos or another of the clubs closely monitoring the situation of Sporting’s winger.
