Exclusive Leonino – Sporting make decision on David Moreira’s future | OneFootball

Sporting is considering the possibility of loaning David Moreira in the second half of the season, Leonino has learned. The green and white structure sees potential in the young player and wants to see how he reacts outside his comfort zone.

According to a source close to the process, Sporting only intends to proceed with this possibility if they can secure a loan to a club in the Liga Portugal Betclic. Besides prioritizing David Moreira's playing time, the lions are looking for an option that offers greater competitiveness to the player.

David Moreira made his debut for Sporting's first team last season, even participating in the Portuguese Cup victory against Benfica. Since then, Rui Borges sees the defender as an option for the senior team's future and, therefore, the plan is to explore his potential.

For now, the Cape Verde international - who chose the African national team over Portugal - remains under João Gião's orders in Sporting B. If he ends up 'rotating' in the main Portuguese football competition, this will also align with the secondary team's coach's intentions for the player.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, the young David Moreira participated in 14 matches, all for the B team, in Liga 2. In the 1,216 minutes he was on the field, the left-back has yet to score or assist.
