Zalazar thrills Sporting fans, but picks another shirt as the best-looking | OneFootball

Rodrigo Zalazar remains focused while on duty with the Uruguay national team, but a recent social media post ended up drawing huge attention from Sporting fans. The attacking midfielder, recently signed by the Lions, appeared excited about the current moment in his career and left a phrase that quickly went viral.

"Enjoying the process with the most beautiful one," wrote Zalazar in a post accompanied by images from the Uruguay national team camp. The player's reference was not to the Sporting shirt, but rather to Uruguay's sky-blue-and-white kit, something Sporting fans took naturally, given the midfielder's pride in representing his country.

The 26-year-old signing was one of the first players to report for duty with Marcelo Bielsa's squad, at a time when Uruguay is beginning preparations for the 2026 World Cup. Zalazar has been one of the standout names in the first few days of camp and remains fully focused on securing an important role in the competition. Maxi Araújo is also present at the training camp.

After signing a contract with Sporting valid for the next five seasons, the former Braga player is experiencing one of the highest points of his career. The Uruguay international arrives at Alvalade with high status and as one of the Lions' main bets for the rebuilding of Rui Borges' squad.

In 2025/26, Rodrigo Zalazar - valued at €22 million - recorded 23 goals and eight assists across 47 matches, with 3,302 minutes played. It is worth remembering that the player was responsible for Braga's equaliser against Sporting, both at Alvalade and in Minho, having scored two penalties deep into stoppage time.
