Domingos Soares Oliveira stalls Sporting moves, freezes star exit | OneFootball

The future of Pedro Gonçalves remains shrouded in uncertainty at a time when Al Ittihad are still showing no signs of wanting to move forward with his signing. The Sporting forward is said to have reached an agreement in principle with the Saudi club, but the deal remains stalled on the side of the club whose CEO is Domingos Soares Oliveira.

At Alvalade, the situation is also unusual for a player of Pedro Gonçalves’ importance. The 28-year-old has not been used by Rui Borges at the start of the season, after making it known that he intends to leave the club during this transfer window.

Pote now sees his situation dependent on Al Ittihad’s next moves, at a time when the market is entering its final stretch. Despite the understanding reached with the player, the most important step is still missing: an agreement between the two clubs to complete a possible transfer.

Until then, his stay at Alvalade remains up in the air. Sporting will have to wait for developments in the Saudi market, while Pedro Gonçalves remains out of Rui Borges’ plans and waiting to see whether Al Ittihad’s interest turns into a concrete offer to the Lions.
