Sporting is considering terminating Mateo Tanlongo's contract at the end of the season, Leonino has learned. Despite preferring to make a profit from the midfielder, the green and whites have no offers on the table, which makes his departure more likely.
The 22-year-old footballer joined the green and white squad in January 2023, but has yet to convince the Club of Alvalade's management. For this reason, Sporting's management is open to a possible termination, aiming to reach a mutual agreement with the Argentine.
It is worth noting that, before this option, Frederico Varandas had set a minimum price for any team to take Tanlongo from Alvalade: the President of Sporting is asking between 500,000 and 1 million euros for anyone who wants to secure the services of the young Argentine who is not in Rui Borges' plans.
Despite his return, after three discreet loans (Copenhagen, Rio Ave, and Pafos), integration into the B team has been a topic of discussion, especially because the athlete still hasn't gained the desired space in João Gião's team.
In the current 2025/26 sports season, Mateo Tanlongo – valued at 800,000 euros – has played in seven games for the secondary team of the green and white emblem. In total, in the 272 minutes he was used, the midfielder has scored one goal.
