Rui Jorge Rego blames one man in Suárez, Sporting, Fenerbahçe saga | OneFootball

Rui Jorge Rego commented on the possible departure of Luis Suárez from Sporting and admitted that the Colombian forward’s situation could create difficulties for the Lions, regardless of how the process ends. The former presidential candidate felt that it was the player himself who put himself in a delicate position.

"This, in the end, is something the Board cannot control, but it is problematic whether he stays or leaves. Suárez has put himself in a difficult position and it will be very hard to find a striker of that quality. With 80 million, I am sure Sporting will find one or two strikers," he said, in comments to 'Renascença'.

In the lawyer’s view, the Club may be entering a period of deep renewal, especially in midfield, although he highlighted names such as Francisco Trincão or Maxi Araújo: "That continuity of players seems to be over and, therefore, it leaves me expectant. Let’s see what will happen".

Despite the doubts surrounding the market, he expressed a word of confidence in the structure led by Frederico Varandas: "This Board has brought us titles, financial health, they entered this market investing before selling, so I have to give them a big vote of confidence here". Rui Jorge Rego also took the opportunity to warn about the climate of tension between the main Portuguese clubs: "If I had responsibilities, I would do everything so that this would end, for the sake of people’s safety and the product they want to sell abroad".
