Nice to see some Portuguese fans/enthusiasts
Marcos Silva should leave Sporting Lisbon in the next few days after his relationship with the president broke down in December. Could be heading to Sevilla.
On the other hand, Jorge Jesus is still to come to an agreement with the Benfica board. The Portuguese press have been speculating him going to...Sporting, which is a bit weird since, if Benfica cannot afford Jesus, one would think that neither could Sporting.
As for players, Carrillo has one year left in his contract and Sporting will find it difficult to keep him. Very decent young player who had a good season. Porto were reportedly after him, which should be made concrete if Brahimi, who said that 'Porto is a big club, but there are better options' recently, leaves.
Bryan Ruiz welcomed the speculation bringing him to Sporting, and apparently should command a meagre 1,5m as transfer fee. I have always liked him, though never quite took off at Fulham. Don't think the English game suits him.
