Sporting to extend star’s deal, set to make him top earner | OneFootball

Sporting is working on renewing Pote's contract. The intentions of the green and white SAD have been known for several months, but the situation has seen recent progress and the Lions are close to reaching an agreement with the 'number 8'.

According to information reported by the newspaper Record, both parties have already met this September, and Frederico Varandas has made it clear that he intends to extend Pote's stay at Sporting until 2030—three more years—and place the creative midfielder at the top of the salary table.

Pote is expected to earn between 2 and 3 million euros net, while the release clause will remain unchanged. Currently 27 years old, the Portuguese international will continue to be protected by a release clause of 80 million euros.

The same source says that, given Pote's personal situation—especially after the birth of his first two daughters—the player wants to reach an agreement quickly. Stability and raising his children in Portugal is the forward's goal, who is coveted abroad.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Pedro Gonçalves—valued at 30 million euros—has already played five matches: four in Liga Portugal and one in the Super Cup. During the 426 minutes he has played, the Lions' 'number 8' has already scored three goals and provided two assists.
