Sergi Altimira makes successful Sporting CP debut

Sergi Altimira has made a successful debut for Sporting CP following his €18 million transfer from Real Betis. The midfielder, tasked with filling the void left by Morten Hjulmand's departure to Atlético de Madrid, scored his first goal for the club and earned MVP honors for his performance.

During his debut in the Portuguese league, Altimira demonstrated high technical efficiency, recording a 95% pass accuracy and contributing significantly to both defensive and offensive phases. His arrival follows a period of transition for the player, who previously had limited opportunities at Getafe and Betis after developing in the Barcelona youth system.

Altimira has expressed his readiness for the responsibility of playing for a club with high title expectations, noting that he understands the demands of the Sporting CP environment as the team aims to compete for the domestic league title and return to Champions League competition.
