The striker forcefully took a penalty that could have secured victory for the Lions but as fate would have it; his effort was saved by the Moreirense goalkeeper.
His actions sparked off an angry response from his teammates, while the fans rightfully booed him off the pitch. Coach Domingos Paciencia was also furious and alongside the club agreed to sell the player.
Bojinov was prohibited from entering Estadio Jose Alvalade and was not allowed to use any of the club’s facilities after his frolics.
Sporting decided to part ways with the former Parma man and despite his recent behavior, a host of top clubs lined up to secure his services.
Levski Sofia, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/ACF-Fiorentina-c38209 expressed interest in signing the 25-year-old but in the end it was Lecce who acquired him.
Having started his career with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952, it’s a welcome return for Bojinov to Stadio Via del Mare, where his record of being the youngest non-national to score in the Italian league was still intact.
Although his current deal at the club is a temporary one and is set to expire in the summer, the Italian outfit will be able to land his services permanently, if they shell out €2.5 million after the season concludes.
According to reports, Sporting have placed a clause in the player’s contract which will allow Lecce to acquire him in the summer if they are impressed by his performances this term.
The Lions are keen to part ways with the attacker after his antics, although he had been a decent player for them until the controversial incident.
His 2 goals in 8 appearances is a decent return but the club claim that his notorious behavior outweigh his talents on the field and they will be better if Bojinov is playing for another team other than the Sportinguistas.
