Jan Lucas in the small newspapers for Sporting CP
Wanting to strengthen his midfield, which was weakened last summer by the departure of defending champions Joao Balinha (Fulham FC) and Matheus Nunes (Wolverhampton), Sporting is closely monitoring several options. according to in Paula, the Brazilian is one of them. Leaving Philippe Clement entirely aside, the Rio de Janeiro native has not joined Monaco’s professional group since November, leaving little doubt about his future in the principality. This winter, the former Lionelli could have gone on loan to Barcelona’s Espanyol, but his departure was prevented by the Monaco leadership. Necessary decision makers want dry transport. Specifically, Lisbon residents tend to suggest it. If we refer to information from the Portuguese Sport Daily, the amount of the transaction will be around 7 million euros.
A new destination for a new life
After being scouted in Brazil, under the colors of Flamengo and Santos, young Oriverde crossed the Atlantic Ocean to try his luck in Europe. Landed at Lyon, then loaned out to Stade Brest before being transferred to Monaco, the ASM No. 11 scouted Portugal. In the shadow of SL Benfica and FC Porto for two decades, the noose has been somewhat tightened with Ruben Amorim coming to the bench. The Portuguese technician, who contributed greatly to the emergence of Nuno Mendes, can do the same with Jean Lucas, if he is still in place, and if the deal works out.
