Breaking news! Sporting call Rui Borges in for talks about his future | OneFootball

The presence of Sporting in the Champions League quarter-finals is secured, and with the Board led by Frederico Varandas prepared for another four-year term, the conditions are set to begin negotiations regarding the contract renewal of Rui Borges.

According to information revealed by the newspaper Record, the first meeting will take place on Wednesday, March 25, and will mainly serve for both parties to lay their respective conditions on the table. It is worth noting that the current contract of the coach only ends in July 2027.

The discussion will involve extending the contract for two more seasons, but details still need to be defined as it could be for one more year with the second year as an option. The clause will remain at 20 million euros, and the entire coaching staff will be subject to a salary review.

Rui Borges has publicly stated that he feels "happy" at Sporting and, after the thrashing of Bodø/Glimt, he assured that "he is not driven by money". The Sporting management, in turn, is pleased with the sporting success and the increased value observed in the main squad.

It should be noted that before the negotiations, the green and white team will take to the field again next Sunday, March 22, against Alverca. The match, part of the 27th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Custódio Castro, will be played at 6:00 PM, at the opponent's ground.
