João Moutinho and Miguel Veloso staying at Sporting Lisbon, says Soares Franco, Sporting president.


Remember after the Euro 2008, the transfer talk about Miguel Veloso? Juve, AC Milan, Arsenal.

How about the current transfer talk about Chelsea and Joao Moutinho?

Well it looks like it ended. I think there's still time for them to move. Today Sporting Lisbon president, Soares Franco, said in Portuguese to RTP:

"Plantel fechado" (Closed squad)

"The squad list is closed. Sporting doesn't have any offer, or contract for João Moutinho ou Miguel Veloso. Without offers they can't leave. They are players of the club. A better Sporting than last season's with desire to be champion. We're going to try to be champions. The president has gone along to make Sporting a more competitive club/team.

- Do you believe there weren't any offers? I don't. I hope one of them leaves and joins the Serie A. Time for new challenges.
