Rui Borges contract talks underway, Sporting have two offers on the table | OneFootball

The decision had already been made a few days ago, regardless of the thrashing of Bodo/Glimt and the European qualification, but the moment ended up giving even more strength to the plan: Sporting is indeed moving forward with the renewal of Rui Borges.

The process will now begin with an initial meeting, still in its early stages, and will not even include the direct presence of the coach - his representatives will sit at the table with the SAD. At this stage, the idea is more about aligning intentions and starting to discuss numbers, rather than actually closing the deal right away.

Despite this, the scenario looks promising. Even if there is no immediate white smoke, the expectation is that everything will be practically aligned between the Management and the coach, with a verbal understanding that allows the process to be closed in the following days.

At the moment, Rui Borges still has a contract for another season, but Sporting wants to extend this connection. On the table are two options: a new two-year contract or a one-year renewal with an additional year based on objectives.

The decision comes from the top - Frederico Varandas has already decided that he wants to continue the project with the current coach. And on the other side, there are no doubts either: Rui Borges has said several times that he is happy at Alvalade and motivated to continue.
