Sporting target set for Italy move for €7 million | OneFootball

Alex Amorim may be on his way out of Alverca, and it’s not to Sporting. According to reports, Genoa, from Italy, is willing to pay seven million euros to the Ribatejo club for the Brazilian midfielder, who has a contract with the Italian side waiting for him, valid until 2030.

The Serie A club thus moved ahead of English clubs, who had the player lined up, with a last-minute move. Amorim is happy at Alverca, but will now listen to Genoa’s offer, which already has an agreement with Alverca.

The number “8” for Alverca arrived in Ribatejo last summer, coming from Fortaleza, Brazil, for 310 thousand euros. He has already been linked with Sporting, Benfica, Milan, and Bologna and is now close to joining the “Rossoblù,” currently 13th in “Calcio.”

One reason that may have prevented the club, led by Frederico Varandas, from acquiring the young Brazilian was the fact that Alverca owns only 50% of the player’s economic rights, with the other half belonging to Fortaleza. This split in rights means the Ribatejo club increases its financial demands to release the midfielder.

Alex Amorim – valued at 2.5 million euros – has been one of Ribatejo’s standout players this season. In 1,783 minutes, the midfielder, who also came through the Santos youth system and last year played for Athletic-MG, has scored two goals.
