Sporting make major call on Daniel Bragança's future | OneFootball

Daniel Bragança is increasingly establishing himself as one of Sporting’s central figures in this second half of the season, and the Lions are beginning to think about the player’s future. After spending almost a year out due to a serious injury, the midfielder has returned at a high level and is seen as a winter “signing”.

The influence of the Portugal under-21 international goes far beyond his performances on the pitch. The “number 23” has gained influence in the dressing room, joined the group of captains, and once again stood out in the thrashing of Vitória de Guimarães, scoring one of the best goals of the night.

Rui Borges is openly an admirer of the midfielder’s qualities, and the SAD led by Frederico Varandas is preparing to reflect on the player’s future at the end of the season. The issue takes on special importance because Daniel Bragança’s contract runs until June 2027.

With the departures of Morten Hjulmand and Hidemasa Morita considered all but expected, Sporting’s midfield is likely to undergo major changes, further increasing the importance of a player developed at Sporting and fully identified with the reality of Alvalade.

In the current season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Daniel Bragança - valued at €10 million - has recorded six goals and one assist in 21 matches, also contributing to the team’s attacking play. In total, he has spent 691 minutes on the pitch.
