Shock at Alvalade! Sporting close to banking over €200m | OneFootball

Sporting is very close to reaching an unprecedented milestone in its history. Daniel Bragança’s move to Torino, for around €5 million, is expected to raise the amount earned by the Lions from sales made this summer to €203 million.

So far, the club’s SAD has already secured €198 million in revenue, with seven players leaving Alvalade for fees that significantly boost the club’s coffers. Geovany Quenda, sold to Chelsea for €50 million, tops the list, followed by Hjulmand, Diomande and Trincão, all for €40 million. They are joined by Alisson (€16.5 million), Diogo Travassos (€5.5 million), Kochorashvili (€4.5 million) and João Virgínia (€1.5 million).

The total could rise even further if the club manages to complete the departure of Pedro Gonçalves. The winger is being linked with a transfer worth around €20 million, which would take the total revenue up to €223 million. Geny Catamo could also have contributed to an even higher figure, but the board turned down a Sunderland offer of €30 million, plus €10 million in add-ons.

The new record comes in a summer also marked by heavy investment in strengthening the squad. Sporting spent €122.5 million on nine signings: Ba (€21.25m), Doumbia (€20m), Pedro Lima (€4m), Silas Andersen (€7.25m), Altimira (€18m), Zalazar (€30m), Irankunda (€15m), Moncef Zekri (€3m) and Kaique (€4m).

Sporting’s best summer in terms of sales had been 2022/23, when the club brought in around €134 million, largely thanks to the transfers of Matheus Nunes and Nuno Mendes. The 2025/26 and 2023/24 seasons had also exceeded €120 million. The current transfer window far surpasses those figures and sets new highs both in sales and in investment in players.
