Luis Suárez set to force Sporting to dig deep into their pockets | OneFootball

Sporting is aware that, if Luis Suárez continues performing like this, they will be ‘forced’ to loosen the purse strings to start paying the bonuses that were part of the deal between the Lions and Almería, made in the last transfer window.

When the Colombian striker arrived at Alvalade, the green and whites paid a fixed amount of 22.1 million euros to the Spanish second division club. However, with bonuses, this deal could reach 27.41 million euros. The objectives in the contract amount to just over 5 million euros—more precisely, 5,263,157.89 euros—and these could raise the total value of the operation to near the maximum within two or three years.

The truth is that these bonuses include many variables, among them the number of games, championship titles, European appearances, and of course, number of goals. Although this last factor could make the Lions pay, it ultimately is a positive sign for the Sporting team—he is already starting to make people forget Viktor Gyokeres.

This season, wearing the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez—valued at 8 million euros—has played nine matches. The Sporting player has participated in all official games at the start of the season: six in Liga Portugal, one in the Champions League, and another in the Super Cup. In the 674 minutes he has played, the striker has scored five goals and provided three assists.

The green and white team will only return to the pitch next Wednesday, October 1st, against Napoli. The match, part of the second round of the Champions League, will be played at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium at 8:00 PM, against the team led by Antonio Conte.
