Bombshell! Saudis want Sporting's Luis Suárez to topple Cristiano Ronaldo | OneFootball

Luis Suárez could be on his way out of Sporting as early as the next summer transfer window, just one year after arriving at Alvalade from Almería in a deal worth around €22 million, which could rise to €27 million with bonuses.

According to the newspaper O Jogo, Al Hilal are considering a move for the Colombian international, who is under contract until 2030 and has a release clause set at €80 million, although that figure may ultimately serve only as a basis for negotiations.

The interest comes with the approval of Simone Inzaghi, the Italian coach who likes the striker’s profile. Even so, before making a move, Al Hilal will have to free up a spot for a foreign player, which could mean the departure of names such as Darwin Núñez or Marcos Leonardo.

The potential move fits into Al Hilal’s plan to reclaim the Saudi title, which they lost last season to Danilo Pereira’s Al-Ittihad Jeddah and which this season is once again close to slipping away, this time to Al Nassr, where Cristiano Ronaldo plays under Jorge Jesus.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Luis Suárez – valued at €28 million – has made 48 appearances: 28 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, 12 in the Champions League, six in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. In the 3,887 minutes he has been on the pitch, the centre-forward has scored 33 goals and provided five assists.
