Watch out, Sporting! Ricardo Mangas deal could be back on | OneFootball

Ricardo Mangas could still leave Sporting in this summer transfer window. The left-back remains on Panathinaikos’ list of possible signings and could once again become a priority for the Greek club over the next few days.

but they ended up moving for Victor Kristiansen, a Leicester full-back.

Kristiansen is undergoing a thorough medical assessment due to the physical problems he faced last season. The defender suffered an injury at the start of November, underwent surgery, but then suffered further setbacks, eventually missing Leicester’s final 13 games in 2025/26.

If the player is not cleared by Panathinaikos’ medical department, the Greek officials are expected to turn their attention back to Ricardo Mangas. The Portuguese full-back is even said to already have a verbal agreement to sign a three-season contract with the Athens club.

Ricardo Mangas’ future therefore remains open. With no guaranteed place in Rui Borges’ plans for the new season, the defender could leave Alvalade in the coming weeks if Panathinaikos resumes negotiations with Sporting.
