Salvador Blopa made a sensational debut for Sporting's senior team, netting two goals in a League Cup clash against Alverca. The 18-year-old right-back immediately caught the eye, and reports from England suggest Premier League clubs are already tracking his progress, a common practice even before players fully establish themselves in the first team.
Among the interested parties is Manchester United, a club where Ruben Amorim's familiarity with the player from his Sporting days could play a significant role.
This season, Blopa has featured in nine Liga 2 matches for the B team, scoring once, played three games in the Youth League, and made his aforementioned appearance against Alverca. His current contract is set to expire at the end of the season but includes an automatic renewal clause extending it until 2028.
