Confirmed! Ricardo Esgaio’s future at Sporting is already decided | OneFootball

Ricardo Esgaio is about to leave Sporting to join Karagümrük. The Lions remain very active in the market, trying to close several deals, and the right-back seems to have finally defined his future, with his departure close to being confirmed.

The information is reported by the newspaper Record. According to the national press, Ricardo Esgaio was left out of the squad for the game against Porto because he is very close to reaching an agreement to terminate his contract with the Alvalade Club, which precedes his move to a new team.

This is the stage where negotiations to define Ricardo Esgaio's future are at. The number 47 of the Lions is very close to reaching this agreement with Sporting and heading to Karagümrük, a club that occupies the 11th position in the Turkish league, with which he already has an agreement to sign.

The national press also reports that Ricardo Esgaio had several proposals on the table to continue his professional career - two from Brazil and two from Turkey. In the end, Karagümrük was the choice of the right-back, who will head to a league where he was close to playing in the past.

It is worth remembering that Ricardo Esgaio's departure from Sporting was foreseeable, as throughout the transfer window there were reports pointing in that direction. The player ends a very long association with the Lions, after seeing Rui Borges' squad with increasingly less space for him to be useful to the Portuguese coach.
