Rui Borges says Guimarães man should join Sporting in 2026/27 | OneFootball

At the press conference previewing the match against Rio Ave, Rui Borges addressed several topics related to Sporting’s 2026/27 squad, namely that of Diogo Travassos, a wing-back currently on loan at Moreirense, a club based in the municipality of Guimarães.

The green-and-white coach said that the full-back is expected to be in the Club’s plans for next season: “Travassos is a Sporting player, he has had a great season and everything indicates that he has to report at the start of next season. That is the expectation.”

The Lions coach also praised the player’s development, mentioning his adaptation to different positions throughout the season: “He has been playing in a position that is not his natural one, as a winger, a wing-back... but he has been growing. He has had two very good seasons in the Primeira Liga, which is very good for him.”

As for Daniel Bragança, Rui Borges highlighted the midfielder’s importance within the group, making it clear that the decision on a renewal does not depend solely on the coach: “Dani is a leader, he is important in the group and he has a contract with Sporting. As far as a renewal is concerned, it is not up to the coach alone. There is the coach, there is the board, there is the player... there are several factors that have to come together.”
