Leonino exclusive - Sporting make transfer stance clear on Fábio Baldé | OneFootball

Sporting are not interested in Fábio Baldé, Leonino has learned. Although his name has recently been linked with the Alvalade club, the board are not exploring the possibility of securing his signing for next season.

According to sources close to our newspaper, although Bild put the Hamburg player on the radar of Sporting, Porto and Benfica, the Lions will not enter any race for the 20-year-old winger, and the initial contacts that allegedly existed were not made by Sporting.

A Portugal under-20 and under-21 international, Fábio Baldé usually plays out wide and completed his development at the German club, where he was promoted to the first team last season. During that period, he recorded two goals and three assists in 24 matches.

This season, his performances have been hampered by physical problems. The young winger has managed just one assist in 14 matches, numbers affected by the various injuries that have kept him out of action throughout 2025/26.

During the last international break, the winger now linked with Sporting once again showed positive signs by scoring for Portugal’s under-20 side in a win over Czechia in a UEFA Elite League match, further increasing the interest of several European clubs.
