Moreirense want cash from Guimarães over Rui Borges row, Sporting boss involved | OneFootball

Moreirense has initiated a lawsuit against Vitória de Guimarães at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, related to a credit claim. The issue concerns the amounts that the club believes it is entitled to receive following Rui Borges's move to Sporting in December 2024.

At the time, the Alvalade club paid 4.1 million euros to secure the hiring of the coach and the rest of the technical team, who moved from Guimarães to Alvalade. The dispute now centers on how the financial compensation should be calculated and divided between the two Minho clubs.

According to the newspaper 'Record', Moreirense believes that the percentage it is entitled to should be based on the overall value of the deal, including the entire technical team and not just the amount related to the termination of the head coach.

In December 2024, there was a proposal for a 50/50 split between Vitória and Moreirense. However, Vitória's president, António Miguel Cardoso, clarified at the time that “it will not be 50% for each club, as has been said, but it will be an approximate value,” indicating that the terms of the agreement would be different from what was initially reported.

Under the leadership of the lions, Rui Borges lost the League Cup, but won the Liga Portugal Betclic and the Portuguese Cup, despite a wave of injuries that affected the squad, achieving the championship double for Sporting, 71 and 23 years later, respectively.
