Fresh update on Eduardo Quaresma at Sporting, better than expected | OneFootball

Eduardo Quaresma is closer to extending his deal with Sporting. The renewal process for the centre-back, which has seen some progress and quieter periods over the past few months, is expected to pick up pace again in the coming weeks.

According to the newspaper A Bola, Sporting’s SAD intends to extend the Portuguese international’s contract until June 2031. Eduardo Quaresma’s current deal runs until 2028, but the club’s decision-makers want to reward the player’s development and growing importance within the squad.

The 2025/26 season ended up being particularly important for the defender. After a less prominent start, he gained ground from the final stretch of the campaign and became one of Rui Borges’ most-used options in the decisive moments of the season.

For that reason, Sporting is preparing to move forward with a proposal similar to those recently presented to Gonçalo Inácio, Pedro Gonçalves, Trincão and Diomande. The intention is to add another three years to the current deal, securing the player’s stay until 2031 - longer than initially expected.

The same source reveals that the negotiations are expected to see further developments after the official announcement of Silas Andersen as the Lions’ new signing, a process that will be completed after the Danish midfielder’s medical exams and contract signing.
