Sporting share update on Diogo Travassos’ future | OneFootball

Diogo Travassos could see his future resolved in the coming days. Sporting wants to find a solution for the player, but will only accept a loan for this season, since they have just renewed the defender’s contract. Two options are starting to take shape.

According to information revealed by the newspaper O Jogo, in its edition this Thursday, August 21, Moreirense and Vitória de Guimarães are the two clubs that have inquired about the player. The first club has only made initial contact, while the second has shown interest in his services. Although he took part in pre-season with the Lions’ first team, Leonino had already reported, exclusively, that the green and white management was interested in a new option for the athlete.

According to information obtained from a source close to the process, Frederico Varandas may let go of the 21-year-old defender, but only through a loan deal with a high purchase option, in a move that could benefit both the new ‘number 19’—the former number of Conrad Harder—and the coffers of Alvalade.

Diogo Travassos saw the little space he had in Rui Borges’ squad become even more limited with the arrival of Georgios Vagiannidis to the right side of Sporting’s defense. Iván Fresneda also seems to have a secured spot, and there are still Ricardo Esgaio, Geovany Quenda, and Geny Catamo, although the latter two now play in more advanced positions.

Even so, both the Sporting management and the coaching staff recognize Diogo Travassos’ potential. As a sign of the Club’s confidence, Frederico Varandas rewarded the 21-year-old right-back with a contract renewal until 2030, with a release clause of 80 million euros.

In 2024/25, wearing the Estrela da Amadora shirt, Diogo Travassos—valued at 1.5 million euros—played in 26 of Estrela da Amadora’s 36 official matches. In total, the right-back, on loan from Sporting, scored one goal over the 1,857 minutes he played.
