Sporting Lisbon sign Sebastián Ribas on loan
Sporting Lisbon have acquired the services of Sebastian Ribas on a year and a half loan deal from Genoa and will unveil the player amongst other signings today.
The Lions were famed for their summer spending spree that enticed nearly 18 new faces to Estadio Jose Alvalade. Unsurprisingly the club have been challenging for the Primeira Liga title during the course of the season and despite some quality players at
the helm, Domingos Paciencia is keen to further bolster his attack.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valeri-Bojinov-c35853 have been leading the line at the club and the Dutch duo have especially shone in Lisbon. However as Sporting are currently in the top three in the standings and challenging for honours in the UEFA
Europa League, the tactician wants more options to add depth to his squad.
Sebastian Ribas has been amongst the latest additions to team and the striker has penned a loan deal after agreeing to leave Genoa for almost a year and a half.
The attacker shone for Dijon in the French 2nd division and earned a move to the Serie A club; however he failed to make his mark there and has thus been farmed out to the Liga Sagres outfit.
His agent also confirmed that the deal had gone through and that his client was in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 to wrap up the final paperwork.
"Yes, everything is closed. Sporting have signed Ribas on a year and half loan deal from Genoa. He arrived in Lisbon today [yesterday] to undergo medical tests and of course sign the new contract," Mauro Paglioni said.
However the forward is not the only piece of business conducted by the Sportinguistas in the winter window and a couple of more signings have been made in order to turn them into genuine title contenders.
Brazilian centre-back, Xandao, has been acquired from Sao http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zakaria-Labyad-c37796 has agreed to join Domingos Paciência’s side but will officially play for his new employers in the summer.
With the influx of more quality players, Sporting now have the talents to match the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 and Benfica and will fight to become the champions of Portugal during the second half of the campaign.
