Sporting to keep winger

Sporting Lisbon have insisted they have no intention of listening to offers for winger Bruno Pereirinha.

Pereirinha staying put

Sporting Lisbon have insisted they have no intention of listening to offers for winger Bruno Pereirinha. The 23-year-old has emerged back on the first-team scene in the past few months, after it looked like his time with the club would be coming to an end. The former Portuguese Under-21 international spent last season on loan with Vitoria Guimaraes and Kavala, after previously being a first-team regular. But since Ricardo Sa Pinto took charge, he is back in the first-team fold and has been impressing. Everton and Italian side Cagliari were believed to be looking closely at him, but Sporting now insist he will be staying put. Sources close to the club told Sky Sports: "There is no surprise clubs are interested but at this moment we don't want to even think about a negotiation." Pereirinha's current deal with Sporting expires next year.
