Rafael Soares blasts Luis Suárez over disrespect towards Sporting | OneFootball

The future of Luis Suárez continues to generate discussion, even though the possibility of a move to Fenerbahçe has lost momentum after the elections at the Turkish club. Rafael Soares recently analyzed the issue and highlighted Sporting’s firm stance regarding the Colombian international, pointing to the release clause as the decisive factor in any potential deal.

"If they pay 80 million euros, Sporting has no way to reject it, that is the value of the release clause", he said in comments on the NOW channel, then stressing that accepting a lower amount could be interpreted as a break from the position publicly taken by the Sporting president.

Rafael Soares also addressed the alleged connection between the player and Hakan Safi, a former candidate for the Fenerbahçe presidency. The journalist also considered that the direct contacts between both parties amounted to a "disrespectful attitude toward Sporting as an institution", at a time when the forward remains under contract with the Alvalade club.

It should be recalled that Hakan Safi’s candidacy was defeated in the elections of the Istanbul club. Aziz Yildirim was elected president with 17,245 votes, compared to the 9,927 received by his rival, a scenario that has, for now, ruled out the possibility of Luis Suárez moving to Turkish football through the project presented by the businessman.
