Rafael Soares names Sporting's best midfielder, not a new signing | OneFootball

Daniel Bragança's possible departure from Sporting continues to spark debate and, despite the arrival of new midfielders in the squad, Rafael Soares believes that keeping the Alcochete academy graduate should not be seen as a secondary issue, since he offers distinctive characteristics.

"Sporting signed several midfielders and, suddenly, people are talking lightly about Daniel Bragança's possible departure. It is far from certain that there is a better midfielder. Given his profile, looking at the context of the league and the departure of key players, his renewal is not exactly an irrelevant topic," the journalist wrote on social media platform 'X'

The opinion comes at a time when the Lions have strengthened their midfield with several options for the new season. Even so, Rafael Soares stresses that the arrival of new players does not automatically mean that there is an alternative in the squad with the same characteristics as number 23.

The player has been an important piece over the last few seasons. Despite the physical problems that marked part of his recent journey, the midfielder regained prominence and continues to be seen as an element with distinctive characteristics.
