Sporting to pay another €2.5m because of Luis Suárez | OneFootball

Luis Suárez’s first season at Sporting is exceeding all expectations and it has already started to have a financial impact on the club’s coffers as well. Signed from Almería last summer, the Colombian striker quickly became one of the standout figures in Rui Borges’ side.

The Colombian international arrived at Alvalade for a fixed fee of around €22 million, to which just over €5 million could be added depending on the achievement of objectives previously agreed between the two clubs. And several of those objectives have already been met thanks to the striker’s performances throughout the season.

All things considered, Sporting will now have to pay Almería around an additional €2.5 million in variables. Part of that amount, €500,000, was triggered by the fact that Luis Suárez finished as the top scorer in Liga Portugal Betclic, a competition in which he scored 28 goals.

The remaining amounts are spread across different sporting targets. Sporting will have to pay another €750,000 because the striker started at least 20 matches and played a minimum of 45 minutes on the pitch, another €750,000 for direct involvement in 25 goals between strikes and assists, as well as approximately €500,000 for Sporting’s run to the Champions League quarter-finals.

Almería could still continue to profit from the Colombian in the future. The Spaniards secured 10% of the capital gain from any future sale of the striker, Luis Suárez has a contract with Sporting until 2030 and is protected by a release clause set at €80 million.
