Sporting hopes to seal Dubasin's replacement this week
Riestra confirms the club is negotiating the signing and expects to finalize it before the weekend.
José Riestra, executive president of Sporting, has confirmed that the sports department is working on bringing in Jonathan Dubasin's replacement and hopes to close the deal before the end of the week, according to Sport.
The top Sporting official expressed satisfaction with the summer transfer window, highlighting the commitment shown by incoming players. "All those here transmitted to me their eagerness to come. None of them made excuses," Riestra stated, emphasizing that every signing shared the ambition to help Sporting return to First Division.
Riestra avoided controversy over the Mexican's departure, simply thanking him for his time in Gijón and asking that focus be on "those of us here now." The club is also working to bring back Andrés Cuenca, though Riestra asked to respect the timeline of the player's owning club.
The executive expressed confidence that alignment between board, coaching staff, squad and fans will be key to fighting for promotion. Sporting has already surpassed 23,000 season ticket holders.
