Alert! Al Ahli waste no time in move for Sporting star | OneFootball

Pote has once again been linked with a possible departure from Sporting during the summer transfer window. The Portuguese international, now in his sixth season with the Lions, is attracting interest from outside Europe and could be on his way to a new challenge in his career.

According to the Saudi press, Al Ahli are closely monitoring the situation of the green-and-white 'number 8'. The club wants to find an alternative in case Enzo Millot leaves and sees Pote as one of the main candidates to strengthen the team's attacking department.

The possibility of a transfer has gained momentum in recent weeks, especially after Rodrigo Zalazar's arrival at Alvalade. Sporting are reportedly willing to negotiate the player's sale for a fee in the region of €30 million, although the attacking midfielder remains under contract until June 2030 and has a release clause set at €80 million.

Since arriving at the Club in 2020 from Famalicão, Pedro Gonçalves has become one of the most standout figures in the Sporting squad. In 239 official matches, the Portuguese international has recorded 97 goals and 64 assists, numbers that place him among the most influential players in Sporting's recent era.

His debut season remains one of the most memorable of the player's career. In 2020/21, Pote was the league's top scorer and played a decisive role in the Lions' national title win. Despite some approaches from European leagues, the Saudi league currently appears to be the most likely destination should he leave Alvalade in the coming months.
