Marcus Edwards has been associated with Sporting since the start of the winter market and Frederico Varandas confirmed Lions and Robin Amorim’s interest in the Victorian Pavilion, in an interview with CNN. However, the Leonen chief also confirmed that no formal proposal had been made and ruled out an exchange of Tabata.

“The goal is to keep the team we have in place. There is a professional scouting department and we always see alternatives if we leave. Tabata Exchange? That doesn’t exist, we’re not interested. Edwards is interested in Sporting and the coach, but he’s been interested for some time and we haven’t made a formal proposal. We might like that, But if we were putting sustainability in place, I wouldn’t.” He began by saying.

“There will be no changes in the market. I will be very happy if we have this team. Robin Amorim, in addition to being a brilliant coach, is supportive: if he has 70 million euros, he will strengthen the team, he will have another central defender on the right side or header Bayonet. I’m sticking to what’s possible.”

The president of Sporting also commented on the controversy surrounding Working with FC Porto Which took Marco Cruz to Alvalade and Rodrigo Fernandez to Dragao, ensuring that it was a “purely sporting” bet.

“Sporting made the exchanges bet on the sporting value of the player. We did it with Gonzalo Esteves, 17, with Marco Cruz, another Portuguese international, even younger, we believe in. We did it from a purely mathematical point of view. Why did Porto Club make it, you have to ask them. Sporting did not include these changes in the results, the report and the calculations.
