The footballer who was put on the route to Sporting will not head to Alvalade; SAD, led by Frederico Varandas out of the question
Nilson Angulo was pointed to Sporting as a possible alternative to Yeremay Hernández. The Anderlecht winger was seen as a plan B to the Deportivo athlete, but the leonine SAD, led by Frederico Varandas, has no interest in moving for the Ecuadorian player.
Journalist Rudy Galetti, a specialist in the transfer market, had recently suggested the possibility of the green and whites moving for the 22-year-old player, if talks for the young international from Galicia did not come to fruition. However, there are no negotiations taking place between the lions and the Belgians.
Despite Angulo being out of the question, Sporting has shown interest in securing Giannis Konstantelias, a footballer from PAOK, international for the Greek national team. The transfer of this forward would mean the arrival of a potential third Hellenic in Rui Borges' squad, along with Georgios Vagiannidis and the imminent move of Fotis Ioannidis.
Still, Sporting's main focus in this transfer market continues to be Yeremay Hernández. Frederico Varandas has not given up on the player after a proposal of 25M + 5M was rejected. The Alvalade Club continues with the young Spanish U21 international in its sights.
At the start of the 2025/26 season, Nilson Angulo - valued at 2 million euros - has already played nine games: four for the Belgian league, two in the Europa League qualifiers and three in the Conference League qualifiers. In 740 minutes of play, he has scored two goals and three assists.
