Cédric Soares ensured that he had conversations with Sporting last season. The Portuguese full-back also talked about the possibility of playing for another team in Portugal:
«Last year there were talks between me and Sporting. Among my agent as well. But this year, no. This year it didn’t happen and it didn’t occur. It’s the club that trained me, I was there for 17 years. They were good years, very good years. [Play for a rival?] Upon returning to Portugal, I will always ask Sporting and I will always express my preference in that regard. Now, if they don’t want me, it will depend on the club, the proposal, and the situation. Portuguese league? I don’t know, I’m open to the Portuguese market because it’s an interesting league and has a lot of quality. I have been outside for ten years, but at this moment, I’m open to things that may arise, as long as they are interesting. And, above all, competitive», he stated to Sport TV.
Cédric Soares also gave a brief preview of the Sporting game against Lille this Tuesday:
«I think there is an advantage in playing at home. In this competition, playing away and at home makes a difference. Especially with a stadium like Sporting’s. It’s an atmosphere I know well and Sporting has that advantage. It’s a competition of excellence, where all teams work very well, it’s going to be a competitive game and Lille has its qualities, but I believe that Sporting can come out with the victory».
Cédric Soares is currently without a club after finishing his contractual link with Arsenal. This summer, he was being considered by Braga.
