After farewell, Sporting have Napoli's response on Alisson Santos | OneFootball

Alisson Santos may have left a farewell message on social media, but the winger’s future is expected to remain tied to Napoli. The Naples club intends to move forward with the permanent signing of the player, who belongs to Sporting.

The 23-year-old Brazilian has been on loan in Italy since January, when Napoli paid €3.5 million for the loan fee until the end of the season. Now, with their Serie A campaign over, the Italians have until mid-June to decide whether to trigger the purchase clause set out in the agreement with the Lions.

According to newspaper A Bola, the Italian club’s intention is precisely to go ahead with the permanent purchase of the winger, paying a further €16.5 million. If that scenario is confirmed, Sporting will receive a total of €20 million for the player.

In addition to their sporting commitment to Alisson Santos, Napoli are also preparing a long-term contract for the Brazilian winger, who has made a strong impression since arriving in Italian football and quickly increased his value within the Neapolitan setup.

Alisson Santos arrived at Alvalade from Vitória in a deal worth €2.1 million, after a loan spell at Leiria. At the time, Sporting tied the player down until 2030 and set a release clause of €80 million. The Brazilian club also safeguarded 10% of any future sale, so it will also benefit financially if the deal with Napoli goes through in the coming days.
