In their Wednesday edition, Portuguese newspaper A Bola said Sergio Oliviera is on the market, but without a destination.
That’s because according to Record today, Oliveira has no intention of joining them. The player seeks ‘another kind of project’, which in other words, would be a club who would fight for titles.
Even though players from abroad are generally attracted by the Premier League, this would not be Oliveira’s case, who’d rather play for a more competitive club somewhere else.
The player is currently training with Porto’s reserve squad and not part of the club’s plans anymore. Southampton seemed to be a good way out for him still in January, and as reported by Record, the decision hasn’t been taken yet.
It just looks a bit foolish to wait for the perfect prince to rescue him. The stance of not wanting to join Southampton seems so foolish, that it’s hard to believe it’s true.
