Leonino exclusive: Rui Borges seals Sporting deal for 2026/27 | OneFootball

Sporting is considering having Diogo Travassos in Alvalade for the 2026/27 season, Leonino has learned. The player from the green and white ranks is currently on loan to Moreirense, and the Lions' management is quite impressed with the season he has been having.

According to our Newspaper, in this Leonino Exclusive, Rui Borges' technical team is closely monitoring the evolution of the young right-back, and if he continues like this in the second half of the season, the future may bring him the opportunity to join the main team of the green and whites.

In fact, the plan for Travassos has always been his return to Sporting. This second consecutive loan - after being at Estrela da Amadora in 2024/25 - had as its primary objective his continuity in a more competitive competition, so the structure could understand how the player would react.

Although he was not Rui Borges' choice for the start of 2025/26, the athlete is seen as a promise for the near future of Sporting. As proof of the confidence placed in the player from the Alcochete academy, Frederico Varandas rewarded the defender with a contract renewal valid until 2030 and with a release clause of 80 million euros.

At the start of this season, Diogo Travassos - valued at 2.5 million euros - was loaned by Sporting to the Moreirense team, in search of gaining more competitive rhythm. In Moreira de Cónegos, he has already played 13 matches, with 1,019 minutes of play and three goals.
