Pedro Gonçalves leaves Sporting to head to Fiorentina. The player made a statement about his new club, saying it is a mid-table team and has never been a top club. The transfer marks a significant change in the Portuguese player's career.
Regarding Richard Ríos, Pedro Sousa explained that the player's departure resulted from a clear technical decision by Marco Silva. The agent's comment suggests this decision was not made for contractual or financial reasons, but rather for sporting choices.
Pedro Sousa highlighted that Ríos was not in coach Marco Silva's plans. This statement indicates that the player was not part of the coach's immediate plans for the team, which likely influenced the decision to allow his transfer.
The reason given is related to the strong competition in the red midfield. With several players competing for the same position, Marco Silva chose to release Ríos from the squad, allowing the player to seek more playing opportunities at another club.
