Pedro Sousa says Sporting would sell starter for €40m-€45m | OneFootball

The situation of Luis Suárez and the way his future is being handled by Sporting have been in the spotlight, with several criticisms of the stance publicly taken by the Club. Pedro Sousa focused his analysis on the gap between what the Sporting board has been saying about the Colombian forward and the figures that may actually be involved in a possible transfer.

In the commentator’s view, the difference between the public message and what may happen in negotiations raises doubts about the strategy being followed by Sporting’s officials. The issue becomes even more relevant at a time when the future of the Colombian international remains one of the main talking points.

Rui Borges and Frederico Varandas have already publicly come out in defense of the striker, seeking to put a stop to the noise surrounding his future. The centre-forward now wants to regain peace of mind both physically and emotionally.

The Lions’ president pointed to Luiz Suárez’s numbers last season, when he scored 38 goals and provided seven assists, and recalled that in 50 years this record at Sporting has only been matched by Viktor Gyokeres, Mário Jardel and Manuel Fernandes.
