Sporting announced the hiring of José Marsà. The 19-year-old centre-back arrives from Barcelona and signs a contract until 2024, with a cancellation clause of €45 million.
“I am very grateful for the confidence. It was not easy to leave my family, my home and my city, but I am convinced that everything will be fine. The first few days were a bit hectic due to travel and because I was settling in, but my new colleagues welcomed me very well. I’m very happy and eager to get started», he told the lions’ official website.
Product of the formation of Barcelona, Marsà revealed what he did not hesitate when moving to Alvalade.
«As soon as I found out about Sporting’s interest, I started following club games. Not only football, but also futsal, for example. I know they were European champions,” he said, referring also to the example of Pedro Porro: “The success he had here led him to be called up for the Spanish national team. That made me even more eager to come because I know I can also make it to the senior team»
