Even though Benfica is a huge club, both in Portugal and Europe, looking at some of Circati's recent games, they are playing some much easier games than he would have had consistently in Serie A with Parma.
Most of us watching the WC would have thought that Souttar was just as good or better than Circati, but whereas the latter finds himself at Benfica, a UEFA heavyweight, Souttar is still in English League 1!
Irank moving to Sporting is a big step up from the English Championship, although the lower ranked teams in the Portuguese top division might not be as good as the mid-ranked and lower ranked English Champ teams.
However, it should be a big step up when Irank's Sporting Lisbon plays Benfica, Porto, Boavista and Braga in the domestic comp, and when Sporting play Champ or Europa League intra-continental tournament football in Europe.
