Sporting talisman set to stay, Allegri move now unlikely | OneFootball

Rui Borges' footballer may still leave Sporting in this transfer window, but he is further from being coached by Massimiliano Allegri.

Conrad Harder may still leave Sporting in this transfer window. Initially, the forward showed greater interest in moving to Italy, but ended up preferring Rennes, where he believes he has better conditions to secure a starting position. With this change, Milan cooled their interest, and the possibility of him joining them has significantly decreased.

According to information reported by the newspaper Record, the 'number 9' of the lions prioritized his transfer to San Siro, but due to the difficulties he might face in establishing himself as a starter under Massimiliano Allegri's options, he prefers the move to the French team.

Playing time is the main reason why Conrad Harder is being negotiated by Sporting. After Viktor Gyokeres' departure, the Dane was seen as his natural successor in Rui Borges' attacking front, but ended up losing his place in the starting 11 with the arrival of Luis Suárez.

The 20-year-old striker will only see his transfer - to Milan or Rennes - completed when the SAD of Clube de Alvalade has a deal closed for Fotis Ioannidis. If the talks do not reach a successful conclusion, the 'number 9' might indeed stay with the greens and whites until the end of the season.

This season, wearing Sporting's jersey, Conrad Harder - valued at 24 million euros - has participated in four matches: one as a starter and three as a substitute. In the 103 minutes he has played, the 'number 9' of Clube de Alvalade has already scored one goal.
