Go back in the planning of Sporting version 2022/2023, which since January has been worked on by the SAD administration, in line with Hugo Viana, sports director, and Rúben Amorim, coach of the main team.
The divorce, which at this point is clear, between the coach and Islam Slimani, an Algerian international striker hired in January, with a contract valid until June 2023, with another year of option, leads the leonine structure, at this moment, to put on hold the plan to attack the transfer market, which was already outlined and was only waiting for confirmation of the presence in the group stage of the Champions League to advance with effective contours.
Now, in addition to a centre-back, a midfielder and a winger, the SAD administration is once again studying the planning of the Sporting squad’s attacking front for next season. Something that, until now, was a closed subject in the structure: Paulinho and Slimani would definitely have the company of Rodrigo Ribeiro, promoted from the formation.
Yesterday, similar to what had happened the day before, when the holders of Dragão did recovery work and the unused ones worked under the orders of Rúben Amorim, Slimani was not with the group in Alcochete. According to information collected by A BOLA, the Algerian repeated his presence at the Academy but received indications to work in the gym.
