Alverca winger Chiquinho is a target that Sporting's structure appreciates to strengthen their attack in 2026/2027. According to A BOLA, Chiquinho is among the primary names for Sporting to target in the coming weeks. The progress of potential negotiations for his transfer to Sporting is dependent on the resolution of Faye's future. Sporting will only proceed with an attempt to sign Chiquinho when the situation regarding Faye's future is resolved. A potential signing would represent a return for Chiquinho to Sporting, where he was formed.

A Bola reports that Sporting is interested in Chiquinho, a 26-year-old forward from Alverca who contributed two goals and four assists and has been identified by the club. However, he is not considered a priority solution for the team's offensive wings. This is not the first time the player has been linked to the club, as he has been monitored by them for a long time. Sporting has not yet made any contact but is monitoring developments regarding the forward, who also has other proposals to leave Alverca. The Portuguese winger joined Alverca in July 2025, and his contract is valid until June 2028. He has one cap for the Portugal U21 team, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €2.00m.
