Pedro Gonçalves said goodbye to the Sporting fans at the Cinco Violinos Trophy, but he could still wear the green and white hoops again. Until the move to Al Ittihad is completed, the Portugal international will remain available to Rui Borges.
The match is scheduled for Friday at the Algarve Stadium. Negotiations are ongoing, but there is still no guarantee that the deal will be finalized by the end of the week.
Al Ittihad are willing to pay €30 million for Pote’s transfer. The Saudi club is controlled by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and has offered more than the figures previously put on the table by Al Diriyah, managed by Bruno Lage.
If the transfer is not completed in time, Pedro Gonçalves could say his final goodbye to Sporting against Nottingham Forest. The 28-year-old will continue training normally with the squad until he is given permission to travel.
During his time at Sporting, Pedro Gonçalves made 243 appearances, scored 80 goals and provided 53 assists, winning three league titles, two League Cups, one Portuguese Cup and one Super Cup. The Lions invested €13.5 million to secure 90% of the player’s rights, meaning Famalicão will be entitled to 10% of the fee from any future transfer.
