The reintegration of Diogo Travassos will bring major changes to Sporting’s right flank. According to information gathered by this newspaper, in a Leonino Exclusive, the guaranteed return of the promising youngster will push either Iván Fresneda or Georgios Vagiannidis out of Alvalade, creating an inevitable scenario for the next transfer window. The structural decisions have already been made by the Sporting management.

Currently, the defender is on loan at Moreirense for this season. However, he will be part of Rui Borges’ squad next season. As such, one of the current right-backs will end up being released due to the obvious lack of space in the available technical options.

Iván Fresneda currently has some international market interest, a factor that could facilitate a potential permanent transfer from Sporting. The young player has been closely monitored by several Spanish and Italian clubs. Given this scenario, concrete offers are expected to arise during the summer window, allowing the administration led by Frederico Varandas to profit.

As for Georgios Vagiannidis, the Greek international arrived at Alvalade during the last transfer window. However, he has yet to establish himself as an undisputed starter under Rui Borges’ management. Usually overlooked in favor of the former Valladolid player, he still hasn’t fully convinced, making his position very fragile in the current squad hierarchy.

It is worth remembering that Sporting renewed Diogo Travassos’ contract until 2030, setting a release clause of 80 million euros, a clear sign of the club’s confidence in the potential of a player who continues to grow and justify the investment.
