Leonino exclusive: Thierry Correia wants back, Sporting set condition | OneFootball

Thierry Correia recently expressed his desire to represent Sporting again, but any possible return of the right-back to Alvalade depends on a condition considered essential by the green-and-white officials, Leonino has learned.

Although the young Portuguese international is available on the market after his contract with Valencia expired, the green-and-white hierarchy does not intend to make exceptions to the Club’s wage policy. In that sense, any progress in talks will always depend on the player’s willingness to significantly reduce the salary he was earning in Spain.

Sporting’s officials appreciate Thierry Correia’s qualities and know well the profile of the player developed at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy. In addition to his versatility and experience gained in La Liga, the fact that he knows the reality of the Club is seen as a positive factor in any potential deal.

Even so, Sporting priority is to maintain the squad’s financial balance. For that reason, the SAD led by Frederico Varandas is not willing to offer a contract on the same salary terms the defender had at Valencia, leaving the decision in the player’s hands.

Recently, Thierry Correia publicly admitted that returning to Alvalade remains a personal and family dream. The player said he would like to return to the Club where he completed much of his development and made his professional football debut, before moving to Spain in 2019.
