Leonino exclusive: Rômulo handed a real ultimatum by Sporting’s board | OneFootball

The continuity of Rômulo at Alvalade is uncertain. According to our newspaper, in an Exclusive Leonino, Sporting does not intend, at this moment, to exercise the purchase option for the defender. However, the administration has set a final deadline, giving the athlete the opportunity to prove his worth until the official end of the season.

The green and white SAD officials are closely monitoring the daily performance of the center-back. Factors such as tactical adaptation, intensity in duels, and response capacity weigh in the evaluation. Currently, the investment of 4 million euros to acquire the pass from Atlético Mineiro is practically out of the Club's immediate plans.

The Brazilian player has already been informed about this demanding situation. The Sporting structure was clear in the message conveyed, emphasizing that the coming months will be absolutely decisive in defining the young man's professional future in Portugal. It is now up to the star to work to the limits to reverse the trend and secure a place in the squad.

Despite the directive hesitations, Rômulo has been frequently called by Rui Borges to the main team of Sporting. The number 49 even added minutes in the Liga Portugal Betclic and the League Cup, but the performances have not yet fully convinced the technical team regarding his quality.

In the current sports season with the Sporting jersey, Rómulo Júnior – valued at 500 thousand euros - has played nine matches for the secondary team and two for the main team, totaling 701 minutes, still without any goals or assists.

Check out some moments of Rômulo:
