Brazil keeping an eye on Varandas’ appointment at Sporting | OneFootball

Brazil is keeping an eye on Alisson Santos. Signed by Frederico Varandas, the Sporting winger has been shaking up games when called upon by Rui Borges, which has earned him a place among the possible players to be called up by Carlo Ancelotti.

According to information reported by the newspaper Record, those in charge of the Brazilian national team are keeping tabs on the player who, despite also having Tunisian nationality, prefers to wear the Seleção jersey, which is one of his biggest dreams.

The same source guarantees that the CBF list includes “any and every Brazilian athlete who plays in the world’s main club competitions” and that Alisson was added directly after scoring in the Champions League. At Alvalade, the hope is that the winger will start for the first time in the Portuguese Cup.

Despite being a regular pick in Rui Borges’ squads, Alisson Santos — valued at 1.5 million euros — has not had much playing time at the start of this season. Since his arrival at Sporting, the Brazilian winger has only totaled 99 minutes across eight appearances, with one goal and one assist.

Sporting return to the pitch only on Saturday, October 18, against Paços de Ferreira. The match, counting for the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against the side led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at Estádio Capital do Móvel at 8:15 p.m.
