Harris has wasted no time looking to add an extra midfielder to his squad. Rumours coming out of Lisboa today have him strongly linked to a fellow EFL midfielder. Reports suggest it could be the entire Lisbon budget which would be a daft thing to do according to many footballing experts. Speculation so far is on a defensive midfielder who has the potential to be a future superstar for the Portuguese outfit. The likelihood of cash alone, is unlikely, and Iago Aspas is the player who is said to depart as well as at least 100m in cash. A huge decision by Harris. Is this a good move? Spending his entire budget and transferring one player? Probably not. Time will tell.
In other transfer news, Japanese defensive stalwart, Yoshida, is set to sign for Inter Milan in a part exchange and small cash deal which will benefit both clubs as they build depth, or cash reserves. Yoshida is said to be devastated to not be in the plans at Sporting - but is relishing potential Champions League football with Milan's superior side.
The jury is still out on Jerome Boeteng, the manager is thinking of keeping him, however he has been linked with a move to the Premier League. "We've had a solid offer, but we are assessing out options, with the departure of Aspas and Yoshida, we are aware of not downgrading too quickly, otherwise it will be a relegation battle this season. We don't want that. Realistically, that is likely in two seasons if we don't make smart choices. Is spending 100m plus a smart choice? Well, let's wait and see who it is that we bring in, then let's decide."
Harris is still significantly interested in two Barnsley players which will "complete the squad for the next two seasons", but negotiations are still ongoing.
