Sporting fend off scouts with pay rise for Rui Borges’ top picks | OneFootball

The contract renewals of Salvador Blopa and Eduardo Felicíssimo are practically finalized. Sporting has taken advantage of the break for international fixtures to wrap up some matters, and the new contracts for two players seen as part of the club’s future have been the priority.

The information is being reported by the newspaper Record, which also reveals that all the details have already been outlined and are similar in both cases. The new agreement with the Lions will include a salary increase, a contract until 2030, and a release clause of 80 million euros.

Both processes have been ongoing in recent months and are now practically complete. Blopa and Felicíssimo are two important figures in the Sporting team, which leads the second division of Portuguese football. With this new contract, the green and whites intend to reward their progress and ensure the two players remain at Alvalade—as they have attracted the attention of some scouts and the management is aware of interest from foreign clubs.

Having already debuted for Sporting’s first team, both players may have another opportunity under Rui Borges. Upon their return from the Portugal U-19 national team, it is possible they will be included in the squad for the Lions’ next match and may even get some playing time.

The green and white emblem will only return to the pitch on Saturday, November 22, against Marinhense. The match, part of the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Rui Sacramento, will be played at 18:00 at Alvalade.
