Lucas Barbosa linked with Sporting and Porto, player could cost up to €20m | OneFootball

Sporting is keeping an eye on Lucas Barbosa, a forward who plays for Red Bull Bragantino and who has been attracting interest from several clubs in the market. The Lions are closely monitoring the player’s situation, in a race that also involves Internacional and Porto.

According to information provided by journalist Ekrem Konur, the Brazilian club has already made it clear that they will not make it easy for the winger to leave, being willing to negotiate a potential transfer only for amounts around 20 million euros, setting the bar high.

The 24-year-old athlete has been a standout in Brazilian football and fits the profile of a young player with room for development that Sporting values. The club’s management continues, however, to assess the market cautiously, especially after the official signing of Luis Guilherme and the almost confirmed arrival of Souleymane Faye.

For now, there is no formal offer from the Alvalade club, but the forward’s name remains on the radar of Sporting’s decision-makers, who are keeping a close watch on developments. The outcome of this process will likely depend not only on the player’s wishes but also on the flexibility of the Bragantino side in negotiations.

In the 2025 calendar year, wearing the Bragantino shirt, Lucas Barbosa – currently valued at 5 million euros – played 40 matches. During the 2,641 minutes he was on the pitch, the footballer scored seven goals and provided three assists for his teammates.
