Exclusive Leonino - Pote’s contract talks with Sporting on shaky ground | OneFootball

The renewal of Pedro Gonçalves with Sporting is uncertain, according to Leonino. The Alvalade club has already been in advanced negotiations for several weeks to extend the contract of the Portuguese international, but the parties have not yet reached an agreement.

For now, the player is under contract with the green and white club until 2027, but the club’s management is seeking this new agreement which, according to our newspaper, would place the forward among the highest-paid players in the squad. However, both the athlete’s representatives and the SAD have not yet agreed on the terms of the new salary.

Even so, the board, led by Frederico Varandas, is confident that the process to extend the contract will reach a positive conclusion in the near future. Pedro Gonçalves feels happy at Alvalade and, at the moment, has no intention of leaving.

Despite the serious injury last season, the Portuguese international was coveted by Aston Villa and Bayer Leverkusen. The German side even made a formal offer to Sporting’s SAD, putting 30 million euros on the table, an amount considered well below the player’s real value.

At the start of this season, Pedro Gonçalves has already played five matches under Rui Borges: four in Liga Portugal Betclic and one in the Super Cup. In a total of 425 minutes played, the ‘number 8’ of the Lions has already scored three goals and provided two assists.
