After being heavily scouted by Sporting CP throughout the summer, there was a point where it seemed like Chiquinho, the talented attacker, would remain with Wolves for the current season. The tension from Lisbon, where Sporting is based, was palpable as Chiquinho showcased his skills during a successful preseason. As he continued to impress on the pitch, Wolves’ manager Gary O’Neil grew increasingly content, leading to doubts about a potential move to the Liga Portugal club. Sporting had been keen on securing a permanent transfer, fearing a repeat of a situation similar to that of Pedro Goncalves.
However, the situation took a turn when Chiquinho was ultimately loaned to RCD Mallorca towards the end of the transfer window. Initial reports indicated that there was no purchase option included in the deal. Yet, the plot thickened when Mallorca’s Sporting Director, Pablo Ortells, publicly stated that the club did indeed have a buying option for the player. The clarity of this statement remains uncertain, leaving the possibility for a permanent move up in the air for the coming months.
Despite the uncertain future regarding his transfer, current reports from Marca suggest that Chiquinho is already making waves at his new home in Spain. The player’s impressive speed and technical abilities have caught the eye of onlookers during training sessions, causing excitement among Mallorca’s management. Furthermore, his bold and audacious style of play has endeared him to fans on the Spanish island, who are eagerly anticipating his impact on the squad as the season progresses.
