Deal close! Winger set to leave Sporting, already training | OneFootball

With a strong presence in this market, Sporting have already completely resolved a case that seemed complicated for 2026/27. It appears that Biel will indeed become a player for Cypriot side Pafos and, according to what newspaper A Bola has learned, the Brazilian player is already training under Ricardo Sá Pinto, duly authorized by the green-and-whites.

The deal is practically concluded — with the player ready to continue his career — with only the official announcement still pending, in an operation that will be a loan until June 2027, with no option to buy, thus maintaining the contract he signed with the Lions until 2029. Upon joining the club, the 25-year-old player will be a teammate of Alexandre Brito, who will continue there on loan from Sporting.

It should be remembered that Biel was signed by Sporting in January 2025 from Bahia for €6.4 million. However, things did not go as expected, and he was unable to establish himself in the Alvalade team or achieve the success both parties had hoped for.

In the team managed by coach Rui Borges, the Brazilian player made only seven appearances, totaling a mere 110 minutes on the pitch in Sporting’s colors. Across those matches, spread over various competitions, Biel scored no goals and provided no assists.

As a result, on loan, he returned to his home country to represent Atlético Mineiro, a club where he also failed to make his mark. Before moving to Cyprus, Biel was in Saudi Arabia with Al Taawon. For next season, everything indicates that he will represent Pafos, the club that won the Cypriot Cup and, by virtue of that triumph, will play in the second qualifying round of the Europa League against Czech side Viktoria Plzen.
