Maxi Araújo continues to attract the attention of Atalanta. However, Sporting is willing to reward the South American if he stays at Alvalade beyond 2025/26 with a salary increase. Currently earning 1 million euros gross, the player would move up to the 1.5M bracket.

According to the newspaper Record, the interest from the Serie A team in the Lions’ starter cooled off when he suffered a thigh injury, but that has since changed and the Italian club is said to have sent scouts to observe the player against Napoli. Apparently, a proposal from Bergamo for Maxi could even arrive in the January transfer window.

It’s worth remembering that, in the summer, Sporting was asking 30 million euros for their player and, by all indications, intends to remain firm in negotiations for the Uruguayan, as they have no intention of losing Rui Borges’ starter at this stage of the season.

Sporting will only return to the field on Saturday, October 18, against Paços de Ferreira. The match, part of the third round of the Taça de Portugal, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at the Estádio Capital do Móvel at 8:15 pm.
