Since the beginning of the season, the management of Sporting has moved forward with renewing the contracts of most of the main squad players whose agreements were set to expire in June 2027. There are still three cases to be finalized: Nuno Santos, Daniel Bragança, and Francisco Trincão, with negotiations at different stages for each.
In Trincão’s case, there is already a preliminary agreement for a renewal of three more seasons, until 2030. The new contract is expected to include a release clause set at 60 million euros and a salary revision that will place him at the top of the wage structure for the squad. The basis of the agreement was reached at the beginning of February, with only a few details left to finalize before it becomes official.
As for the other two players with contracts until 2027, proposals are expected to move forward by the end of the season. Daniel Bragança is seen as a key investment for the future. At 26 years old, he combines experience with room for growth and is internally identified as a player who embodies the Club’s DNA. The expectation is that he will sign a new long-term deal, also until 2030.
Nuno Santos, in turn, is expected to be rewarded for the commitment and dedication he has shown over recent seasons. The renewal should involve a shorter contract period, but the technical staff still trusts in his contribution for the remainder of this season and the next, possibly with a greater focus on the full-back position rather than as a winger.
With these three cases, a cycle of renewals comes to a close that, over the course of the season, has already included Pedro Gonçalves, Gonçalo Inácio, Ousmane Diomande, and Geny Catamo in terms of the main squad. At the same time, renewals have also been secured for young players who have been regularly called up by Rui Borges, such as Diego Callai, Salvador Bolpa, Felicíssimo, and Flávio Gonçalves.
