All details of Luis Suárez’s bonuses at Sporting revealed | OneFootball

Luis Suárez was Sporting’s most expensive signing ever, with the Lions shelling out 22.16 million euros for the Colombian international. Now, the player continues to ‘break records’ thanks to the sum of variables outlined in the agreement with Almería.

Based on his individual and team objectives, the Spanish club could still receive up to a maximum of 5.26 million euros for the striker, and now, as reported by the newspaper Record, the structure of the bonus agreed between Sporting and Almería has been shared.

According to the aforementioned source, a large part of the bonus in question depends on the number of games played and Luis Suárez’s direct involvement in Sporting’s goals. At this point, the Colombian is very close to reaching the first milestone: when he reaches 20 starts—so far, he has 16. In other words, even before Christmas, Almería could receive another 750,000 euros.

The truth is that this will be repeated when Suárez reaches 40, 60, and 80 starts for the green and whites, unless the 5.26 million euro objectives are reached by other means before then. Furthermore, for every season in which he reaches a combined total of 25 goals + assists, there will be another 750,000 euros. At the moment, he’s already at 14 (12 goals and two assists).

Finally, there are still different ways for Almería to reach the total variable amount with Suárez. If Sporting wins the national championship title and qualifies for the Champions League, the Spaniards benefit. The truth is that 90% of the bonuses are easy to achieve, with two being more complicated: reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League or the semi-finals of the Europa League or Conference League—in any of these scenarios, the Lions would have to pay 500,000 euros.
