Sporting and Benfica sound out Amorim move, hit a stumbling block | OneFootball

Alex Amorim, Alverca player, is one of the names on Sporting’s radar. However, the green and whites face stiff competition from Benfica, who are also closely monitoring the progress of the midfielder from the Liga Portugal Betclic club.

In addition to the interest from the two Portuguese giants, the player is also on the list of several European clubs, such as Milan and PSV, according to Notícias ao Minuto. This international interest could pose problems for both the Lions and the Eagles, as it may drive up the price and make an initial approach more difficult.

There is another complex factor in this financial operation. Alverca holds only 50% of the player’s economic rights, with the other half belonging to Fortaleza. This split in ownership means the Ribatejo club is raising its financial demands to release the midfielder in the near future.

As far as Sporting is concerned, the interest in Alex Amorim arises from the need to find an alternative for the center of the pitch. Morten Hjulmand is linked with a move away this summer, while Hidemasa Morita is nearing the end of his contract.

This season, playing for Alverca, Alex Amorim – valued at 2.5 million euros – has played 19 matches: 17 in Liga Portugal Betclic, one in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the League Cup. In the 1,603 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the player, who is under contract until June 2028, has scored two goals.
