Sporting enquire about Rooney, but face a major stumbling block | OneFootball

Sam Rooney is one of the latest names to be put on Sporting's radar. The lions are following the progress of the 16-year-old, who plays for St. Patrick's Athletic, a club from the first League of the Republic of Ireland, but they know they will have Evangelos Marinakis on their tail if they want to move forward with the player.

According to recent information revealed by the 'Irish Mirror' newspaper, the forward is also being coveted by Nottingham Forest, a club with which the lions do not have a good relationship these days, due to events in the last summer market.

Frederico Varandas blames Evangelos Marinakis in the Jota Silva process, as advanced by Leonino. The President of Sporting points to the owner of Nottingham Forest as the main reason why the forward is not currently a player of the lions.

As is known, the Sporting reached an agreement with the tricky trees for the signing of the Portuguese international, but the documentation arrived at the Portugal League platform one minute after the deadline, which made the deal for the player unfeasible.

Moreover, regarding Sam Rooney, there is still no information on any move by the lions or even the tricky trees around the player. It is only known that this will not be an easy task, since the player already has a professional contract with his club.
