Winger incoming? Rui Borges under pressure as Sporting act fast | OneFootball

This time, there really is no turning back. Sporting will sign a winger in the reopening of the transfer market, especially since injuries and absences make it necessary, considering that the position has already been seen as a priority since last summer.

The truth is that, in the last transfer window, Sporting reportedly tried to sign three options: Yeremay Hernández, Kevin, and Jota Silva—with the latter being the most striking of all, as the player’s registration failed at the last minute, leaving Rui Borges without reinforcements.

Now, this issue is even more pressing. Geovany Quenda faces a break of at least two months; while Pedro Gonçalves is also only expected to return to competition in January. If the situation was already complicated, it is further aggravated by Geny Catamo’s departure for the AFCON.

For the situation of the Mozambican international, Sporting already has a solution outlined: Salvador Blopa will be the replacement during his teammate’s absence. The 18-year-old was promoted by Rui Borges to the first team and is expected to get more minutes in the coming months.

As for the rest, Sporting is already on the ground looking for the ideal deal. Yeremay (Deportivo), Wesley (Al Nassr), Giannis Konstantelias (PAOK), Abde Ezzalzouli (Betis), or Christos Tzolis (Club Brugge) are some of the names on the table.
