During the interview with CNN Portugal, this Monday night, Sporting president Frederico Varandas addressed the controversial exchange of players with FC Porto.
“Sporting didn’t even put the change of players in the accounts. We bet on the sporting value of the players, we did it with Gonçalo Esteves and Marco Cruz in whom we believe. Why FC Porto? Let FC Porto respond», he shot.
It is recalled that the aforementioned exchange took place on the last day of the summer transfer market. Midfielder Rodrigo Fernandes left Alvalade for Dragão, while winger Marco Cruz joined the Lions after a spell at FC Porto. The green and white SAD paid 11 million euros and received the same amount paid by FC Porto.
