Heads up, Sporting! Napoli may have settled Alisson Santos’ future | OneFootball

In his second match for Napoli, the first goal emerged. Alisson Santos, a 23-year-old winger loaned from Sporting to the Italian champions, has only 80 minutes in the blue jersey, but is already beginning to justify the expectations surrounding his signing.

On Sunday, in the 25th round of Serie A, he scored the second goal in the 2-2 draw against Roma. More than just the accurate shot, the Brazilian has impressed with his performance in training and his quick integration into the group, factors that reinforce Napoli's intention to proceed with a permanent acquisition, highlights the newspaper A Bola.

The Italian club paid 3.5 million euros for the loan valid until the end of the season - a high amount for just half a year, considering the limitations imposed by financial fair play. The financial effort still demonstrates a clear intention to invest in the player.

The purchase option is set at 16.5 million euros and can be activated until the end of the season. If this happens, Sporting will receive a total of about 20 million euros - having invested 2.1 million in the signing from Vitória da Bahia - in addition to securing 10% of any future transfer profit.

Alisson, who before heading to Naples spent half a season on loan at UD Leiria, is expected to sign a contract valid for four or five seasons, until 2030 or 2031. The annual salary could reach 2.7 million euros. Although he has a contract with Sporting until June 2030, everything indicates that the Brazilian winger will continue his career permanently with the southern Italian club.

In the current 2025/26 sports season, Alisson Santos - valued at 4 million euros - played 33 games between both clubs. In the 776 minutes he was on the field, the forward scored four goals and made two assists.
