New condition for Pote to stay at Fiorentina, Sporting to cash in | OneFootball

Pedro Gonçalves has ended a six-season spell with Sporting and joined Fiorentina on loan, in a deal that could be worth a total of €25 million to the green-and-white club’s coffers. For now, the SAD will receive €2.5 million for the loan of the Portugal international.

According to Record, the remaining €22.5 million corresponds to a purchase clause that will become mandatory if certain objectives are met. One of them is directly related to Pote’s involvement with the Italian side.

The former ‘number 8’ will have to feature in at least half of Fiorentina’s possible official matches, playing a minimum of 45 minutes in each game counted for that purpose. The Italian press also adds a second condition linked to the Viola’s collective performance.

Fiorentina will also have to secure qualification for the 2027/28 European competitions for the permanent transfer to be triggered. In this way, Sporting depends both on Pote’s performances and playing time and on the sporting results of Fabio Grosso’s side.

Pedro Gonçalves - valued at €25 million - leaves Alvalade with 239 appearances, 97 goals and 66 assists, as well as three league titles, one Portuguese Cup, two League Cups and one Super Cup. At 28, he is now beginning a new chapter in Italy after being linked for several weeks with a move to Saudi Arabia.
