Sporting slash price for Daniel Bragança, PAOK and Torino keen | OneFootball

he will leave Sporting in this transfer window, 19 years after joining the Lions’ academy. Torino and PAOK are the two destinations on the table, with the Italians still holding a slight edge in the race for the 27-year-old midfielder.

According to newspaper A Bola, the matter should be resolved later this week and Sporting will receive between €5 million and €7 million from the transfer. PAOK’s move in recent hours has complicated a process in which Torino had been further ahead, leaving the final decision still open.

The board initially set the asking price at between €10 million and €12 million, but the lack of concrete offers led to a gradual reduction in their demands. First, Sporting’s officials became willing to accept a sale for between €8 million and €10 million and now they are prepared to close the deal for a lower fee as well, also because Bragança is entering the final year of his contract.

The midfielder completed the entire pre-season under Rui Borges and scored four goals in friendlies, but he was not called up for any official match. Bragança is not in the plans and has only been doing part of the training exercises with the rest of the squad while waiting for a solution for his future.

If the transfer goes through for the figures mentioned, Sporting will surpass €200 million in permanent sales this summer. The Lions currently total €196.5 million, as a result of the departures of Geovany Quenda, Morten Hjulmand, Ousmane Diomande, Francisco Trincão, Alisson Santos, Diogo Travassos and Giorgi Kochorashvili.
