Varandas nets €30m from player who clashed with Rui Borges at Sporting | OneFootball

Frederico Varandas appears to have managed to get Rennes to reach €30M for Conrad Harder, a player who had a complicated relationship with Rui Borges.

The future of Conrad Harder is unlikely to be at Sporting. All indications are that the Danish international is set to leave the Alvalade club and sign for Rennes, in a deal that, with objectives included, could reach 30 million euros, meaning amounts higher than those initially reported.

“Sporting intensified discussions with Rennes for their Danish striker and reached a basic agreement that could reach up to 30 million euros, between a fixed amount, around 26 million, and variables, in the region of 4 million,” reports the newspaper Record in this Friday’s edition.

With the signing of Luis Suárez and the more than likely arrival of Fotis Ioannidis at Sporting, Conrad Harder believes the best path for his career is to leave the Alvalade club. After Milan initially emerged as a probable destination, Rennes now appears to be in pole position.

The relationship between Conrad Harder and Rui Borges was never easy. Last season, and despite being an option when Viktor Gyokeres was injured, the Sporting coach never hid his lack of affection for the Danish international, even calling the player “clumsy.”

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Conrad Harder – valued at 24 million euros – took part in four matches: one as a starter and three as a substitute. In the 103 minutes he was used by Rui Borges, the ‘number 9’ of the Alvalade club has already scored a goal.
