Leonardo Jardim tried to lure Sporting star away, but got a firm no | OneFootball

Frederico Varandas received a proposal to lead Al Ahli, but chose to decline the offer. Commentator Pedro Sousa analyzed the topic and revealed that the President of Sporting had already had the opportunity to head to Monaco in 2015, to earn about 10 times his salary at the time.

“Frederico Varandas, when he was the clinical director of Sporting in 2015, declined to earn ten times more in Monaco. It was Leonardo Jardim who wanted to take him there and he declined this possibility. Of course, we are not talking about these millions, but he would earn ten times more in Monaco. In 2018 he became President, this is a fact”, he began by saying to Canal NOW.

Next, Pedro Sousa cites his second example: “This ran parallel with the Gyokeres issue and the information I have is that he decided in less than 24 hours or something similar. It was quick, he must have spoken with his family”.

“We often forget that he is a doctor. He has a degree in medicine from Nova University, he is a career military man and, therefore, has been through some things, including in Afghanistan, often opponents mock this. I would like to see some of them on a NATO mission, with bullets flying overhead”, he added.

To conclude, Pedro Sousa cites the Sportinguismo of Frederico Varandas as one of the factors: “This afternoon I asked him, he is Member 5,427, which means he has been a member from the beginning. He was a member of Juve Leo in his past, at 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 years old and so on. Therefore, his intention is to run in March 2026 and renew for a third and probably final term as President of Sporting Clube de Portugal”.
