New target at Alvalade! Patrik Mercado on Sporting’s radar | OneFootball

Sporting is interested in signing Patrik Mercado. With their eyes on several players for the upcoming transfer window, the names of the Lions’ targets for the January window are starting to emerge, and the Ecuadorian from Independiente del Valle is on Rui Borges’ list.

The information is being reported by Ekrem Konur, a Turkish journalist specializing in the transfer market, who also states that the green and whites are not the only ones in the race for the midfielder. Porto and Braga are the two other clubs interested in the 22-year-old player.

In this case, the same source also reveals that the team from Minho has the most advanced contacts for the young player; however, the deal is not yet closed, and there is still room for Sporting to try to hijack Patrik Mercado at this stage of negotiations.

In 2025, playing for Independiente del Valle, Patrik Mercado – valued at 5 million euros – has already played a total of 42 matches, accumulating 2,677 minutes on the pitch. In those matches, he scored seven goals and provided ten assists to his teammates.
