Paulo Andrade on Sporting offer: I think he’ll accept | OneFootball

Frederico Varandas was invited to take on the role of CEO of Al Ahli. The emblem of Saudi Arabia offered a three-year contract to the President of Sporting, with a total value of 12 million euros net, 4 million euros per year. Paulo Andrade says that, if the same opportunity arises at the end of the next term (in 2030), he believes that the top leader of the lions would accept the offer.

"I confess that this is news to everyone. We are not used to leaders, especially presidents, going to other clubs. We live in a football of millions and I never tire of saying that", began Paulo Andrade, in statements to the CMTV channel.

Next, the former executive administrator of Sporting SAD stated that the leaders have a loyalty to their club that no one else has, calling the offer a "extreme case": "Today for players and coaches money is what matters. Those who really are members of the clubs, fans of the clubs, live the clubs, it is the leader, who suffers for his club like no one. This is an extreme case".

Recognizing Frederico Varandas' love for Sporting, Paulo Andrade left a message to the Club's fans: "It is such an exorbitant amount not to be accepted that Sporting fans cannot fail to be satisfied with Frederico Varandas' attitude. This only demonstrates his sportinguismo, the love he has for the Club and the desire he has to finish and complete the project".

Finally, the now sports commentator did not rule out a future trip by Frederico Varandas to Saudi Arabia, if a new invitation arises: "I have already heard that he is going to run in the next elections. He wants to finish his project and after that, if another invitation appears, I already believe that he will accept".
