Leonino exclusive: Rui Borges to loan Sporting full-back | OneFootball

Sporting want to loan out David Moreira next season, in 2026/27, Leonino has learned, with the aim of speeding up his development. The Sporting hierarchy believe in the potential of the young player developed at the Club and want to assess him at a higher competitive level, outside the context of the B team.

According to what our newspaper has learned, the move will only go ahead if the player joins a team in the Liga Portugal Betclic. The idea is to ensure that the defender gets regular minutes, but above all that he can compete at a more demanding level.

The wing-back already made his debut for Sporting’s first team last season and was even part of the squad that won the Portuguese Cup against Benfica. Since then, Rui Borges has been monitoring his progress and continues to see him as a valid option, but not in the near future.

At present, the Cape Verde international - who has attracted interest from Spain - remains with Sporting B under the guidance of João Gião. If the loan move is confirmed, the decision will align with the strategy defined by the green-and-white club for his development.
