Sporting to pay half a million euros if player starts in Guimarães | OneFootball

Luis Suárez continues to be a key player for Sporting and all indications are that he will start in the next game against Vitória de Guimarães. The Colombian forward's consistency this season has been evident, with his constant presence in the starting eleven. This frequent use is now starting to have financial implications for the club.

Upon reaching his 20th start of the season, Sporting is obliged to pay a new bonus to Almería. This contractual objective triggers an additional payment of 500,000 euros, increasing the total value of the transfer agreed between the two clubs last summer.

It should be noted that the deal was closed for a base amount of around 22 million euros. However, the agreement includes several clauses dependent on the player's sporting performance (who was praised by Tomás da Cunha), which can significantly increase the total cost over time.

These bonuses are organized in tiers, being triggered every 20 games as a starter, up to a maximum limit of 80. Additionally, there are bonuses associated with individual goals, such as winning the league's top scorer title, which also enhance the deal.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played 24 matches: 14 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the Super Cup Cândido de Oliveira. In 1,749 minutes, the striker has scored 15 goals and provided two assists.
