Sporting CP are reportedly taking a closer look at Zhasulan Amir after the 19-year-old’s breakthrough season with Ordabasy.
AmanVIBE reports that Sporting’s scouts are closely following the Kazakhstan international and are currently preparing a detailed report on his performances during the 2026 season. The same information was subsequently shared by ScoutEurasia and has been picked up by several Kazakh outlets, all crediting AmanVIBE as the original source.
At this stage, the report points to active scouting rather than negotiations or a bid. There is no suggestion that Sporting have made contact with Ordabasy or submitted an offer.
Amir has been one of the standout young players in Kazakhstan this year. Across all competitions, he has recorded 11 goals and six assists in 34 appearances, while also establishing himself in the senior Kazakhstan national team.
The Sporting link adds another significant European club to the growing list around Amir. Earlier reports have linked him with Anderlecht and Basel, while Górnik Zabrze were reported by AmanVIBE in October to have made contact over a possible transfer.
SkyrScout profiled Amir earlier this year and later discussed him in detail on the Scout of This World podcast, where his pace, two-footedness, movement and potential as a forward were highlighted.
For now, the Sporting development belongs firmly in the live/active scouting category. But the fact that the Portuguese club are reportedly preparing a detailed report suggests Amir’s season has now attracted serious attention beyond Kazakhstan.
