Transfer market buzzing: Sporting move to land a winger for Rui Borges | OneFootball

Sporting’s plan for the opening of the winter transfer window is already well defined: right in the first days of 2026, the Lions want to secure the signing of the winger who ‘slipped through’ in the last transfer window, and the targets for the green and white structure are already known: Yeremay Hernández (Deportivo) and Giannis Konstantelias (PAOK).

Although the mentioned names are not easy to acquire, both have a profile that appeals to Rui Borges and the rest of the Lions’ staff, as they are two young players with great potential for financial and sporting appreciation – in addition to standing out this season. Despite little hope surrounding these signings, they are the two preferred players for the position.

Since the Lions will almost certainly be without Geny Catamo at the start of the calendar year – as he will be at the AFCON, representing Mozambique – Sporting’s coach will have one less option to support the attack.

For now, Sporting’s objectives are very clear: winning the third consecutive league title is the absolute priority and, at this moment, there is financial leeway to guarantee Rui Borges the missing pieces needed to help achieve this goal. In addition, reaching the Champions League playoffs is also on the Lions’ list, something that, for now, is well on track.

The green and white emblem will return to the pitch next Saturday, November 8, against Santa Clara, in a match for the 11th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Vasco Matos will be played at 8:30 pm at Estádio de São Miguel, in Ponta Delgada.
