Exclusive Leonino – Ricardo Esgaio causes headaches for Sporting | OneFootball

Leonino Exclusive – Ricardo Esgaio’s demands to terminate his contract with Sporting are complicating the process. There are interested parties in the right-back.

Ricardo Esgaio is making the termination of his contract with Sporting more complicated. In this Leonino Exclusive, our newspaper reports that the demands of the right-back, who came up through the club’s ranks, are delaying his departure from the Alvalade club—something that was not in the plans of the management.

“Sporting’s management has a lot of respect for Ricardo Esgaio, but they are not willing to pay what his representatives are asking for. Unless things change, his continuation is a scenario on the table,” a source close to the process revealed to Leonino, describing the state of negotiations.

The truth is that Ricardo Esgaio is not ruling out the possibility of leaving Sporting in this transfer window, with some interested parties. However, the 32-year-old right-back is also comfortable in the Portuguese capital and does not look unfavorably on the prospect of staying at Alvalade until the end of his contract.

Last season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Ricardo Esgaio – valued at 1.5 million euros – played in 18 matches: nine in Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the League Cup. In the 766 minutes he was on the pitch, the player scored one goal.

In total, for Sporting, Ricardo Esgaio has played 192 matches in the green and white stripes, scoring two goals and providing 19 assists. The player has won six titles with the Lions: two National Championships, two Portuguese Cups, one League Cup, and one Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup.
