Kartal started to work for an important football player in the transfer. Planning to reinforce the midfield, Beşiktaş added Hidemasa Morita, who plays for the Portuguese team Sporting Lisbon, to its watch list. The 30-year-old Japanese football player, whose contract with Sporting will expire at the end of the season, is preparing to leave the club. It was stated that Morita will not renew his contract with Sporting. In the news in the Portuguese press, it was claimed that Beşiktaş was monitoring Morita. It was stated that Sporting was open to offers.
CAN BE LEAVED ON THE STOVE
Morita, who has been playing for Sporting since 2022, serves as number 8 in midfield. The Japanese star, who draws attention with his two-way play, can also get a chance at number 6. The experienced football player, who is also in the Japanese National Team, may leave his team in January. Morita, who played 14 official matches with Sporting this season and made 1 assist, remained on the field for 632 minutes. It was claimed that Beşiktaş was among the clubs following the star midfielder and would contact Sporting during the interim transfer period.
WILL GO TO THE WORLD CUP
Hidemasa Morita regularly gets chances in the Japan National Team. Morita is expected to be in the 2026 World Cup squad. The 30-year-old star also played for Japan in the 2022 World Cup.
SHINED IN SANTA CLARA
Hidemasa Morita, who played for Sporting Lisbon for 3 years, made his debut in Santa Clara in 2021-22. Morita, who made a name for himself in Santa Clara by playing 59 official matches in 1 season, was noticed by Sporting.
