After Pote and Bragança exits, Sporting still want another player gone | OneFootball

Sporting have practically completed the squad overhaul for 2026/27. Gonçalo Inácio and Geny Catamo resisted the moves of the last few days, while Pedro Gonçalves, Daniel Bragança and Koba Koindredi found new destinations. The only unresolved situation is that of Sotiris Alexandropoulos, who continues to work with the B team.

The big news on the final day was Pote’s move to Fiorentina. The Portugal international joins on loan, with a payment of 2.5 million euros, and there is a mandatory purchase clause if he plays in 50% of the matches, with at least 45 minutes on the pitch. If that condition is met, Sporting’s total income will reach 25 million.

Daniel Bragança also moved to Italy, to play for Torino. The midfielder first extended his contract with the Lions until 2028 and left on loan, with the Italians paying one million euros. The mandatory purchase clause based on targets is set at 2.5 million, and there are also bonuses that could raise the deal to 4.5 million.

Koindredi, meanwhile, terminated his contract and returned to Lausanne. Sporting kept 50% of the Frenchman’s rights and could still receive up to 650,000 euros based on targets. Sotiris is now the only surplus player left to place, with a solution expected in one of the markets that remain open.

After calculating the figures from the deep squad renewal, Sporting show a positive balance of more than 80 million euros between arrivals and departures. The Lions invested around 123.5 million in nine paid signings, but made sales worth more than 200 million, with Hjulmand, Diomande, Trincão and Quenda representing the biggest windfalls. At Alvalade, the market is considered practically closed.
