Sérgio Krithinas disagrees with Sporting star's exit: excellent numbers | OneFootball

Sérgio Krithinas does not agree with the departure of Conrad Harder from Sporting. The commentator recalls the "excellent numbers" that the still current Lions player managed to achieve in his first season wearing the green and white and fears that a move at this time could harm the forward.

"Signed at the very end of the 2024 summer transfer window, Conrad Harder exceeded expectations for a teenager who was set to spend his first year in the shadow of the untouchable Viktor Gyokeres. He finished the season with 11 goals and seven assists, excellent numbers for a footballer who started only 14 games and who fully justified the investment of almost 20 million euros," he began by writing in the newspaper Record.

Sérgio Krithinas is surprised by the player's farewell: "A year later, he is at the exit door of Alvalade, for a slightly higher price, thus making a sharp turn in a trajectory that seemed to be one of growth. Time will tell if anyone will benefit from this frenzy, but stability is usually a footballer's best friend at this stage of their career," it reads.

Conrad Harder is dissatisfied at Sporting and is expected to leave the Alvalade club in this transfer window. The forward does not want to be a substitute for another season, after being the second choice in the Lions' attack in 2024/25, behind Viktor Gyokeres.

The Dane saw the Swede leave and thought he would have a bigger role, but was once again relegated to the bench with the arrival of Luis Suárez, who was signed for a fee of over 20 million euros from Spain's Almería.
