Sporting have the option to purchase the 22-year-old this summer for €5million, but the Lions have not been convinced that they should go all in on permanent move and would prefer a second loan spell.

But whether the player himself will go for that is a different story.

Virginia has only made seven appearances for Sporting this season and none of them have been in the Primeira Liga.
