Sporting CP Communications Director highlights Argentinean club's attitude regarding Jonathan Silva

Sporting's Director of Communications, Nuno Saraiva, has used his Facebook page to praise Boca Juniors for their stance in relation to the player Jonathan Silva.

"Only a great sports and human club like Boca Juniors takes a stand against the lies that come from a campaign of defamation. The relationship between our clubs is excellent and we make an effort to keep it that way with the clubs that we work with on a daily basis, both in terms of strategic relationships and in terms of issues related to players, as well as in relation to Europe's governing bodies where we are one of the most active clubs in making proposals for the good of football and sportsmanship."

Sporting CP Director of Communications on alleged interest in Bakic de Alvalad

In relation to the alleged signing of Bakic, The Sporting Clube de Portugal Director of Communications, Nuno Saraiva, affirms the following:

"When a path has not been clearly defined, lies are circulated regarding possible signings. Sporting CP has a clearly defined path. To that end, no player has been diverted by the club. That includes Bakic from Fiorentina, who was on loan to Belenenses last season, and Pedro Nuno, from Académica, who will likely be the target of similar suggestions. Sporting CP has not had any player diverted to any other club, because Sporting has already signed the players it wants with a calm and planning that is characterised by a club of our dimension. Newspapers should pay commission to journalists who trick people and to Sporting as many players are sold based on a lie that Sporting CP is interested."
