Official: Ex-Sporting target leaves Vitória for European champions | OneFootball

It's official. Tomás Handel is no longer a player for Vitória de Guimarães. The footballer, who was coveted by Sporting, has been announced at Red Star, the Serbian club that became European champion in 1990/91. The details of the transfer are still unknown.

Although the duration of the contract with the Serbian giant is not known, it is certain that it will not be short-term, considering the player's potential for growth and the club's investment from that Balkan region. The figures mentioned in the deal - around three million euros - are substantially lower than the amounts previously associated with the player.

Even so, the amount spent still represents a significant sum for a club whose biggest purchase in history is the South Korean, In-beom Hwang (5.5M). Tomás Handel has always represented Vitória de Guimarães. Besides his training, the 24-year-old player made his debut in the main team in the 2021/22 season.

He was mentioned in this transfer market to strengthen Sporting in a deal that never materialized. He represented the Vitória team in 118 matches, scored six goals, and made six assists. Red Star is the first foreign experience for the young Portuguese international.

Tomás Handel - valued at 13 million euros - was one of the most influential players at Vitória and one of the athletes with the most market interest. The player was seen by Sporting's management as a possibility at a time when Hidemasa Morita showed no intention of renewing with the Alvalade Club.
