Sporting full-back wanted abroad, could end up playing alongside Busquets | OneFootball

Eupen is interested in signing José Silva, the right-back from Sporting's B team. The club, led by Bruno Pinheiro, is monitoring the player's situation and considering an approach in the market. If the move materializes, the footballer will join Uri Busquets, a player from the Belgian team who previously played for Barcelona.

The possibility on the table involves a loan of the 20-year-old athlete, a solution seen as beneficial to ensure competitive minutes for the young defender away from Alvalade. However, as of now, there is no formal proposal, but the dossier is active.

José Silva has been a regular choice in the team led by João Gião, where he has played several games in Liga 2, and he already made his debut for the main team of the lions last season. At the Alvalade Club, the potential negotiation is seen as an opportunity for sporting development.

The competition in the main squad limits the right-back's opportunities at this stage of his career. Iván Fresneda is the usual starter, with Georgios Vagiannidis as the direct alternative. Furthermore, Salvador Blopa, despite being injured, also plays in the same position.

For the main team, José Silva has only one appearance: he was brought on by Rui Borges in the 78th minute of the match against Estoril, in the 24th round of last season, played on March 3, 2025. In the 2025/26 season, the athlete has scored two goals and provided three assists in 17 games for the B team.
