Fans counting down the days to offload striker who cost Sporting a fortune | OneFootball

Biel's time at Atlético Mineiro is proving to be... complicated. On loan from Sporting, the winger has been heavily criticized by the Galo fans, who do not want the player to sign permanently with the Minas Gerais club.

The Atlético Mineiro fan base has created a counter called the Bielzometer, which tracks the winger's playing time. One of the objectives set in the loan contract was the number of matches Biel plays, and if everything is fulfilled, Sporting will receive 7 million euros.

The portal O Tempo assures that Biel will have to play 33.3% of the minutes played by Atlético Mineiro until the end of the loan - June 30, 2026 - for the clause to be activated. So far, the Sporting player has been used in 26.71% of all possible time.

Failing to impress at Alvalade, Biel has also struggled to make his mark in Brazil. Moreover, Galo is going through a severe financial crisis, and paying 7 million euros for the green and white forward is out of the question for the fan base.

During his time at Sporting, Biel - valued at 5 million euros - played seven matches: three in the Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Champions League, and two in the Taça de Portugal. In the 111 minutes he was on the pitch, the winger failed to score or assist his teammates on any occasion.
