Sporting Lisbon Joins Race to Sign Vincent Aboubakar After Impressive Start to Ligue 1
Following a strong 2013-2014 campaign with Lorient and a goal against Monaco on the opening day of Ligue 1, Cameroonian striker Vincent Aboubakar is attracting increasing interest across Europe.
Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon have entered the pursuit, joining previously reported suitors Wolfsburg and Southampton. Demonstrating serious intent, Sporting has already tabled a formal offer to Lorient, though the exact amount remains undisclosed.
Lorient, however, are holding firm, reportedly demanding a transfer fee of around €10 million for the 22-year-old forward. Sources close to Aboubakar suggest confidence in ongoing negotiations, indicating a potential move could materialize soon.
Aboubakar’s dynamic play and goal-scoring ability have made him one of Ligue 1’s emerging talents, and the coming weeks will reveal whether he will continue his career in Portugal’s top flight.
