Vitória de Guimarães midfielder slips past Sporting, set to join CSKA | OneFootball

Tomás Handel, a midfielder coveted by Sporting, is expected to leave Vitória de Guimarães to play for CSKA. The agreement between the clubs for the 24-year-old footballer could be reached in the coming days, although at this time, the Moscow club has offered six million euros and continues negotiations with the Minho club, which is trying to increase the amount.

The player has been at the Guimarães club since his training, being one of the players with the strongest ties to the Vitória emblem. The now pupil of Luís Pinto may thus head to the Russian league, just over a week before the transfer market closes.

The target of the lions was promoted to team captain this season, replacing goalkeeper Bruno Varela, who moved to Saudi Arabia. Charles and Borevkovic, who recently left the conquerors to head to Turkey, completed the initial set of captains.

The player may play his last game for the club next Saturday against Arouca. The athlete has already played a total of 118 games for the club, three of them this season. Remember that in January his transfer to Milan was almost agreed, but it did not materialize due to bureaucratic issues.

The Portuguese U-21 international has been one of the most prominent players of Vitória and is one of the athletes with the highest market value, potentially bringing a good financial return to the SAD led by António Miguel Cardoso, in a season where they can't count on the financial income from European competitions.
