Fiorentina sells right-back Gaspar to Sporting CP

Milan - Fiorentina have sold right-back Bruno Gaspar to Sporting Lisbon, the Serie A club confirmed on Thursday.

"Fiorentina have definitively sold the player rights of Bruno Gaspar to Sporting," the Italian club said in a brief statement.

The 25-year-old Portuguese player joined Fiorentina in June 2017 from Vitoria Guimaraes on a five-year deal and played 17 times for the Tuscany outfit in Serie A and the Italian Cup.

He started his career at Portuguese giants Benfica, where he played for the club's second team in the second tier of Portuguese football, before joining Guimaraes on loan in September 2014, before making the move permanent the following year.
