Jorge Mendes called in to tie down Sporting's new gem for 100M | OneFootball

Flávio Gonçalves is convincing Sporting’s leadership and is expected to be rewarded for the impact he has made at the start of the season. The club’s officials are already preparing a salary review for the 19-year-old winger and are even considering extending his current contract.

According to newspaper A Bola, the process is expected to speed up after the transfer window closes on September 4, when Jorge Mendes will have more availability to negotiate the new terms. The current deal runs until 2030 and includes a €60 million release clause.

A possible renewal could raise that figure to €80 or even €100 million. The strategy follows a similar line to the one used with Geovany Quenda, seeking to quickly tie down one of the academy’s main talents amid interest from Europe’s biggest clubs.

Flávio Gonçalves signed a professional contract just over a year ago and already has pay rises planned based on certain appearance-related targets. Even so, the SAD intends to bring forward that increase and immediately reward the player’s performances, after he scored his first goal for the senior team against Vitória de Guimarães.

The winger has been at Sporting since 2019, when he arrived from Rio Ave, and had already attracted international attention before establishing himself at senior level. Almería even tried to sign him, but the lions turned them down. In 2025/26, Flávio also scored five goals in seven Youth League matches before earning a definitive place among Rui Borges’ options.
