Frederico Varandas readies improved deal for Sporting's new captain | OneFootball

Sporting’s SAD is working to finalize Eduardo Quaresma’s contract renewal later this week. The 24-year-old centre-back is expected to extend his deal with the green and whites until June 2031.

According to information reported by Maisfutebol, the new agreement for Sporting’s ‘number 72’ includes a salary adjustment and an increase in the release clause, which is expected to be set at between €70 million and €80 million.

Negotiations are well advanced, although there are still some bureaucratic details to be resolved before the contract is fully signed and later announced by the Alvalade club to its Members and supporters.

Eduardo Quaresma is expected to take on a growing role in the team during the 2026/27 season. The imminent departure of Ousmane Diomande to Nottingham Forest opens up more space in central defence, while the Portuguese defender is also establishing himself as one of the dressing room’s key figures.
