Sporting CP failed Barça for a nugget

Currently with Las Palmas on loan, Dario Essugo (19 years old), is at ease with the Canary Islands club where he has already made 8 appearances. U21 international with Portugal, the defensive midfielder could have played in another La Liga club. According to Sporthe came very close to going to FC Barcelona.

In fact, the Catalans tried to extract the loan from the player from Sporting CP but the file failed because the Blaugrana wanted to include a purchase option. Not wanting to lose his nugget who is considered the future of the Leoes, Sporting CP wanted a dry loan so that he could get playing time. Dario Essugo has a clause of 60 million euros at Sporting CP.
