Official: Diogo Travassos leaves Sporting for Liga Portugal surprise | OneFootball

It’s official! Diogo Travassos leaves Sporting and joins Moreirense. The 21-year-old right-back joins the Moreira de Cónegos side on loan, where he aims to get more playing time after his spell at Estrela da Amadora last season.

According to information provided by the newspaper Record, the ‘number 19’ of the Lions leaves the Alvalade club and heads to the Minho team until 2026. The player will be available to Moreirense until the end of this season, with no purchase option or obligation.

In fact, according to journalist Sebastião Sousa-Pinto, Diogo Travassos has already been available to Vasco Botelho’s coaching staff, having taken part in the morning training session on August 25, with his new Moreirense teammates. The right-back is expected to start in the next match for the northern team, which will be against Gil Vicente, scheduled for next Friday in Barcelos.

Although he is not in Rui Borges’ plans for 2025/26, the player is seen as a promising talent for Sporting’s near future. As proof of the confidence placed in the Alcochete academy product, Frederico Varandas rewarded the defender with a contract extension valid until 2030 and 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 during the 1,857 minutes he played.
