The transfer market is in its final phase and Sporting faces difficulties in selling the surplus players from their squad. The club from Alvalade has failed to place several elements that are not in the plans of the first team, which has complicated the management of the squad and the club's finances.
However, Benfica and FC Porto took advantage of this final stretch of the market to strengthen their teams. Forward El Karouani arrived at the encarnados, strengthening Benfica's squad, while Chilean Santiago Giménez reinforced the dragões, joining FC Porto.
The Portuguese market has seen great activity in this transfer window, with the three major clubs adopting different strategies. While Benfica and FC Porto managed to complete important signings, Sporting was left at a disadvantage for not being able to free up space in their budget through sales.
Sporting's situation contrasts with the activity of their rivals, who managed to strengthen themselves significantly. The difficulties of the club from Alvalade in selling surplus players may end up negatively influencing the preparation of the team for the upcoming sporting season.
