Altimira still has to overcome one obstacle to join Sporting | OneFootball

Sergi Altimira is very close to officially becoming a Sporting player. The Spanish midfielder is only waiting for Sporting and Betis to finalize the last details of the transfer before travelling to Lisbon, something that should happen over the weekend.

After arriving in Portugal, the 24-year-old player will undergo the usual round of medical tests before signing a contract with Sporting. The deal will be valid for five seasons, until June 2031, and will include a release clause set at €80 million.

Meanwhile, the two parties have agreed on one of the last outstanding points in the negotiations - with some 'help' from Jorge Mendes. Betis will be entitled to 12.5% of the capital gain from any future transfer of the player. It should be remembered that the Spaniards will receive a fixed €18 million, with the possibility of earning an additional €2 or €4 million depending on the achievement of objectives.

At this stage, all that remains is to define some details related to the payment structure and finalize the agreement between Sporting and the player. Once everything is settled, Sergi Altimira will be authorized to travel from Spain to the Portuguese capital.

The Spain international will be the Lions' fifth signing for the 2026/27 season and will immediately be placed under Rui Borges' command. The midfielder is expected to join pre-season training at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy in Alcochete, where the squad will officially begin preparations for the new campaign.
