Exclusive Leonino - Sporting make call after Daniel Bragança’s long absence | OneFootball

Sporting will renew Daniel Bragança's contract. As revealed by our newspaper in this Leonino Exclusive, the board led by Frederico Varandas wants to give a huge vote of confidence and show that they believe in the 'number 23' of the green and whites.

According to information gathered from a source close to the process, the injury suffered by Daniel Bragança has in no way shaken the management's confidence. However, Sporting wants, with the contract extension, to show the player that he is part of the plans for next season.

Bragança's injury occurred in February 2025, at a time when the left-footer was enjoying the best season of his career in individual terms. With a contract valid until 2027, it is possible that the Lions' vice-captain will extend his stay by another three years.

The knee problem will keep Daniel Bragança out for a few more months. The Sporting player is only expected to be available for Rui Borges at the end of the season, despite already running on the pitch and doing ball exercises.

In 2024/25, wearing the Sporting shirt, Daniel Bragança – valued at 12 million euros – played 29 matches: 18 in Liga Portugal Betclic, eight in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In the 1,590 minutes played, he scored four goals and provided nine assists.
