Sporting and Porto clash over midfielder’s huge release clause | OneFootball

Sporting is interested in the possible signing of André Luiz, a player developed by Corinthians. However, the Alvalade club is not alone in the race for the player, as Porto is also keeping an eye on possible moves for the young midfielder.

The information is being reported by the Brazilian press, more specifically by the website 'Antenados do Futebol', which notes the attention of the two Portuguese clubs towards the 19-year-old Brazilian footballer. Despite the interest, there has not yet been any formal approach, either from the Lions or the Dragons.

For now, André Luiz has a contract with Corinthians until December 2029, with the release clause causing some concern in the transfer market. According to several Brazilian media outlets, for some European clubs, the player’s clause is set at 100 million euros. For Brazilian clubs, it is lower: around 18M.

It is worth remembering that, as recently as September 14, the player earned the trust of Dorival Júnior and ended up making his debut for the Corinthians first team, in the match against Fluminense, which Timão ended up winning 1-0. André played the entire second half.

As for the green and white club, they will be back on the pitch next Monday, September 22, against Moreirense, in a match for the sixth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Vasco Botelho da Costa will be played at 8:15 pm at Estádio José Alvalade.
