Sporting CP are ready to snap up Real Madrid defender Vinicius Tobias.

Real have decided to pass on signing permanently Vinicius from Shakhtar Donetsk.

The Brazilian had joined Real in January 2022 and featured regularly for Raul's Castilla team.

Real could have signed Vinicius for €10m, but are sending him back to Shakhtar.

CNN Portugal says Sporting are ready to step in and take the youngster off Shakhtar's hands.
