The Lions want to give a blow to the market and although they can not spend too much, would want to count the Tottenham midfielder, currently without continuity, which plays in the same position occupied by Fernandez, adding more competition to Chile.
Sporting Lisbon was a team without creativity last season. The midfield was used as a staging post rather than ideas, which led to the low power Lusos offensive. The solution are searching out, with the slow Matías Fernández adaptation: Jaime Valdes is here and now studying about Giovanni Dos Santos.
The choice of the people of Lisbon is that the Mexican, who belongs to Tottenham, but has not had much continuity, arrives on loan for two seasons, as they do not spend much money on reinforcements this season.
"We are working with some options, but they are in our price range, but not mad," admitted a leading Portuguese newspaper A Bola.
The alternative is to repatriate the Lions managed to Manuel Fernandez, the Spanish Valencia midfielder looking for a way out of the club by not starting.
