Benfica academy winger sends social media wild in Sporting shirt (video) | OneFootball

Diego Moreira caused some surprise on social media after appearing in training wearing a Sporting shirt. The winger posted several photos from his training camp in the Algarve, but it was the green-and-white kit that drew the most attention.

The detail stood out even more because of the player’s past at Benfica, the club he represented between 2020 and 2023. Diego Moreira later left the Estádio da Luz on a free transfer to join Chelsea, so wearing the shirt of Benfica’s rival did not go unnoticed among the Eagles’ fans.

There is, however, no move to Alvalade on the horizon. The shirt belongs to Zeno Debast, a Sporting centre-back and the winger’s teammate in the Belgium national team, and it was simply part of a shirt swap between the two internationals.

Luso-Belgian, Diego Moreira represented Portugal at youth level, but later chose to play for Belgium at senior level. The player was part of the 2026 World Cup and is now using the holiday period to prepare for the new season in the Algarve.

. His performances have once again put his name on the radar of several European clubs, including Roma, who are monitoring the situation of the former Benfica player.
