Sporting respond to Newcastle, set Luis Suárez sale price | OneFootball

Newcastle are seriously interested in Luis Suárez and have already moved beyond initial enquiries to concrete talks with Sporting. The Colombian striker is enjoying an outstanding season for the Lions, and the club’s hierarchy have already set his price: 80 million.

According to Record, the Magpies submitted an initial offer in recent days to the SAD led by Frederico Varandas, but the response from Alvalade was clear: Sporting will only negotiate based on the release clause. The 'number 97' is protected by a clause set at 80 million euros and continues to be seen as an absolutely key part of Rui Borges’ project.

In addition to the club’s firm stance, the player himself has also already told his representatives that he is happy at Alvalade and wants to remain at Sporting. The extremely positive season produced by the Colombia international has further reinforced the striker’s importance within the green-and-white setup, especially after his performances in the Champions League.

Luis Suárez is currently enjoying the best statistical season of his career. The centre-forward leads the Liga Portugal Betclic scoring charts and has already recorded 36 goals and seven assists in 51 matches for Sporting. If his appearances for the Colombia national team are also included, the striker has a total record of 40 goals and seven assists in 56 games this season.

Signed in the summer of 2025 from UD Almería for a fixed 22.16 million euros, in a deal that could rise by a further 5.26 million based on objectives, Luis Suárez also remains focused on appearing at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with the national team coached by Néstor Lorenzo, a competition where he hopes to play a leading role for Colombia.
