Leonine Sade wants to settle a new bond, but the central prefers to wait to negotiate with another status.
Sporting intends to renew Jose Marsa’s contract, but so far, according to O JOGO, the center has not yet taken the decisive step to allow the signing of a new Bond.
The Spanish defender is contractually linked to the Lions until the summer of 2024 and just over a year away from being able to sign another crest, starting in the 2024/25 season, Sporting SAD wants to protect its assets.
The intentions of the Lions are, at the moment, facing the 20-year-old footballer: he wants to understand what future situation he might have in the team. Marsa appreciates the possibility of getting more chances in the first team and wants some guarantees of being able to play in order to assert himself.
This knowing that, on the team, there is competition from Coates, Gonçalo Inácio, and St. Louis. Juste and Matheus Reis and although the Lions are looking to bolster themselves with a right centre-back.
The goal of Sporting and its coach Ruben Amorim is to keep the left-hander, who brings quality with the ball at his feet and who has established himself as a versatile player: in the A-team scheme he has already lined up as a central defender on the right side and also in the middle, and in the B-team he has played in the pivot in A line of four defenders.
Believing they can boost him, Lyon’s leaders will seek to close the file by the end of the season. Marsa spent 13 years forming Barcelona and arrived at Alvalade in 2021 as a free player, after terminating the bond that linked him to the Catalans.
He has a release clause of €45m and was coveted by many European clubs before signing for Sporting. For the main team, he added seven games in 2022/23, adding another five in the B team, a formation he even captained.
Amorim used it in two matches in the Champions League, as many in the league and the Taça da Liga and in one of the Taça de Portugal. He scored 487″ and started in all but European matches.
