Deal done: Sporting dribbler joins Champions League’s 19th side | OneFootball

It's a done deal. Chris Grombahi will continue his career in Belgium, after Sporting and Club Brugge reached an agreement for the winger's loan until the end of the season. The deal includes a purchase option of 2 million euros, a value that could increase by another 500 thousand euros depending on the achievement of objectives.

At just 17 years old, the dribbler has already had the opportunity to debut for the first team. The young forward was used in the 5-1 victory against Alverca, in the Allianz Cup, a match in which he made a good impression and caught attention for his boldness and quality in one-on-one situations.

At the end of that match, the coach Rui Borges did not spare praise for the 17-year-old player, even calling him 'Geovany Quenda II', clearly referencing the potential and similarities with another emerging young talent from the Sporting academy. Moreover, the player posted a farewell message but was forced to delete it.

At Club Brugge, which finished the Champions League league phase in 19th place, he will take his first steps in the B team, which competes in the Belgian 2nd League, in a context designed to enhance his competitive development. Sporting closely monitors the winger's progress, keeping the door open for a future profit if the player meets expectations.

In the current 2025/26 sports season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Chris Grombahi has played 17 matches for the under-23 team (scoring five goals), six for the juniors (one goal and one assist), and one for the A team. In total, the winger has played 1,596 minutes.
