The current winter market is taking on unprecedented dimensions at Sporting, becoming the club's largest investment ever at this stage of the season. The administration led by Frederico Varandas has moved forward with a robust financial plan, breaking with previous patterns, at a decisive time of the season.
The signings of Luís Guilherme (14M) and Souleymane Faye (6.5M) represent a financial effort valued at just over 20 million euros. Faye is even expected to be present at Alvalade tomorrow to watch the Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
Frederico Varandas and Rui Borges prioritize winning the national championship three times in a row, a feat that has eluded the club for over 70 years. The decision to move forward with an investment of this magnitude is directly associated with this sporting goal.
The sales made by Sporting in recent seasons, combined with good performances in European competitions, help explain the existing financial margin. The policy of asset appreciation, combined with revenues from UEFA, has created conditions for this more ambitious winter market.
The green and white emblem returns to the field next Tuesday, January 20th, against Paris Saint-Germain. The match, part of the seventh round of the Champions League, will be played at 8:00 PM at Alvalade, against the team led by Luis Enrique.
