Exclusive Leonino - Pedro Gonçalves' contract renewal with Sporting is uncertain; Player has not yet reached an agreement with the SAD

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

For now, the player is under contract with the green and white emblem until 2027, but the club's officials are 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 new salary figures.

Nevertheless, the management, led by Frederico Varandas, is confident that the process for extending the contract will reach a successful conclusion soon. Pedro Gonçalves feels happy at Alvalade and currently has no intention of leaving.

Despite the serious injury last season, the Portuguese international was sought after by Aston Villa and Bayer Leverkusen. The Germans even formalized a proposal to Sporting's SAD, putting 30 million euros on the table, amounts considered well below the player's real value.

At the start of this season, Pedro Gonçalves has already played five games under Rui Borges' orders: four for the Liga Portugal Betclic and another for the Super Cup. In a total of 425 minutes of participation, the 'number 8' of the lions has already scored three goals and provided two assists.
