Daniel Bragança's Sporting renewal hits a snag | OneFootball

he is going through one of the best spells of his career at Sporting, but the midfielder’s future remains open. At 26, the midfielder has become even more important to the team following Morten Hjulmand’s absence. However, a contract renewal is unlikely to be straightforward, despite the player’s desire to stay at Alvalade.

The contract runs until 2027 and, so far, there have still been no formal contacts between Sporting’s SAD and the player’s representatives, according to the newspaper 'A Bola'. The board intends to wait until the end of the season before moving forward with negotiations, but time is starting to run short.

The midfielder will soon enter the final two years of his deal. The risk of losing one of the squad’s most highly valued assets without much financial return worries the club’s decision-makers. One of the main stumbling blocks is the salary issue.

Despite being one of the team’s key figures and a reference point in the dressing room, Daniel Bragança remains among the lowest-paid players in the squad. The midfielder believes his performances justify a significant salary review, but for now, the Club has not yet shown clear signs that it wants to come closer to the player’s demands.

In the current season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Daniel Bragança - valued at 10 million euros - has six goals and one assist in 21 matches, also contributing to the team’s attacking play. In total, he has been on the pitch for 691 minutes.
