Sporting reportedly make €20m bid for striker from Cristiano Ronaldo’s team | OneFootball

Sporting has once again added forward Sergio Arribas to their list of targets. According to the Spanish newspaper 'La Voz de Almería', the Alvalade club has submitted a proposal of around 20 million euros in an attempt to sign the 24-year-old player who currently plays for Almería.

Despite the green and white interest, the Spanish club is not willing to negotiate the player for that amount. The same source indicates that Almería is looking to receive a much higher sum, considering Arribas one of the main figures of the team.

The Andalusian club’s strategy also involves capitalizing on the financial and media boost generated by Cristiano Ronaldo’s investment in the Almería project. The management believes that the increased value of the squad and a potential promotion to La Liga this season could further strengthen the club’s position in the market.

Trained at Real Madrid, the 24-year-old Spaniard made a permanent move to Almería in the summer of 2023 for 6 million euros. He quickly earned a starting spot and stood out over the last two seasons for his strong connection with Luis Suárez, when both played together in the rojiblancos’ attack.

This season, playing for Almería, Sergio Arribas – valued at 10 million euros – has played 30 matches: 29 in the Spanish second division and one in the Copa del Rey. In total, during the 2,433 minutes he was on the pitch, the 24-year-old winger scored 17 goals and provided six assists.
